Abstract

Database technology will play an important role in providing an efficient management of the information resources in future computational environments in science and engineering. Its powerful capabilities for data management can provide great leverage to the implementation of complete engineering information systems as well as for single scientific and engineering applications.

This paper presents how modern extensible database technology can be utilized within engineering software to provide a query-based interface for accessing and evaluating numerical results from finite element analysis computations. By integrating database technology, the application will be equipped with and can take advantage of general database mechanisms making all data immediately available at the query-language level.

Examples show how the abilities to access and compose data increase dramatically by the introduction of domain models, i.e. a high-level query language-based conceptualization and representation of application-specific concepts and operations.
