Therefore, the quantities in the state function in all STRUREL programs are in terms of the Character Identifiersof the basic uncertain Variablesand of the Constants. Note the limitation to maximal8charactersof the identifiers.You enter Comrelby picking its icon and select the option Time Invariant Analysisfrom the Taskdialog to enter Comrel-TI. A new and empty job will be generated.The State Functionas a ScriptFor problems that are too complex for the capabilities of the Symboliclanguage of STRUREL it can be convenient to formulate the state functionin a high-end computer language. STRUREL provides eleveninterfaces to computer languages such as FORTRAN, C/C++, Maple, Mathematica, Matlab, Python, Octave,Ruby, R,Scilab and Gauss.For our example using the Mapleinterface just the following wascoded in SymboliclanguageFLIM(1){ Planar Truss Example }= maples(\_yThe statement FLIM(1)calls abuilt-in procedure mapleswith a single argument, the name of the Maplescript file, here PlanarTruss.mplwithout extension %u2019.mpl%u2019. In this script file the values from input vector INPUTwill be accessed. Note the large 2ndpart of the script to create various plots after the line ##Visualization.
