  28. Observations & Conclusions • We have finished building over 25 educational modules on • mechanical behavior spanning the length scale from nano to • macro and taught an undergraduate and graduate class on • “Computer Simulation on Mechanical Behavior of Materials” • A well documented User’s Guide on NPIB1.6 can now be used • by other educators and researchers to create their own modules • or improve on existing modules • Virtual and collaborative design environments have been • at best working prototypes that are too difficult to use by • the engineering design community • Easier to use API’s are needed so that scientists and engineers • can build their own applications based on physics and content U V A G

  29. Recommendations & Future Work • Because of delays in constructing the ACITC the two CRCD • classes did not fully utilize the SMVC or CAVE technologies. • These classes will be taught again with full access to facilities • and improved collaborative desktop to CAVE software. • Continue to improve on existing modules on crack propagation • that demonstrate bridging the length scale from nano to macro. • These and other CRCD modules will be used in other ESM and • MSE classes designed for distance learning off-campus. • Move the CRCD Web-site from the existing Sparc10 Ultra Web- • server to the SGI Origin 2000 desk-side Web-server and link • NPIB simulation models to VT’s Sun E-65000, Beowulf Cluster • 200 CPUs, and the new College of Engineering SGI 3400 rack.
