Abstract :
This paper reports the preliminary development of the computational (finite element) software for creep damage analysis. Firstly, it reviews the current state of how to obtain such computational capability. Secondly, it completes with a flow diagram of the structure of new finite element software to be guided in developing in-house FE software. It further reports the strategy of how to obtain such FE software for creep problem. Finally, some validation practices are summarized.
