A FORTRAN IV PROGRAM FOR COMPUTING THE STATIC DEFLECTIONS OF STRUCTURAL CABLE

DESADE is a Fortran 4 program for computing the current-induced static deflections of Structural Cable Arrays. As dimensioned, the program can handle arbitrarily configured arrays of up to 22 cables. The cables can be electromechanical wire rope, or synthetic. Any number of discrete devices (buoyancy elements, current meters, tensiometers, etc.) can be incorporated in the array. An option for parametric studies is included in the program, as is an option for incorporating arbitrary current fields. As written, DESADE should compile on most Fortran 4 compilers with Boolean algebra capabilities. (Author) Portions of this report are not fully legible.
