Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing real-time interactive design and simulation of a physical system to generate comparisons of varying system configurations under different physical conditions. A display is generated on a graphical user interface that displays a part in a physical system according to characteristic data. An initial simulation of the physical system is executed to determine an initial value for a metric of the initial design. The initial value is displayed on the graphical user interface. A change of the characteristic data or the environment condition is received through a user interface. The simulation of the physical system is recalculated to determine a next value for the metric based on the change, the next value for the metric being displayed on the graphical user interface along with the initial value in real time relative to the received change.

A display is generated on a graphical user interface that displays a part in a physical system according to characteristic data. An initial simulation of the physical system is executed to determine an initial value for a metric of the initial design. The initial value is displayed on the graphical user interface. A system configuration change is received through a user interface manipulation to a first characteristic of the characteristic data or the environment condition. The simulation of the physical system is recalculated to determine a second value for the metric based on the manipulated first characteristic, the second value for the metric being displayed on the graphical user interface along with initial value in real time relative to the received manipulation.

Abstract: A system for automatically generating a report from engineering data stored in a database is comprised of a user computer having a browser for requesting an HTML file. A web server generates the requested HTML based on Active Server Pages technology. The ASP file includes script for instantiating a component. The component, a dynamic link library, includes an automation hierarchy. The ASP page includes script for actively generating the report through interaction with the instantiated objects. The HTTP protocol connects the user computer and the web server.
