An operating system is a set of software programs‚ which manage computer hardware in a controlled fashion. The operating system controls the file-system‚ process management‚ memory management and peripherals. Multi-user operating systems are used on large mainframe computers. A mainframe computer system has one very powerful processing unit‚ which may contain many microprocessors. Many users will all share this processing unit. They use terminals (a keyboard and a monitor) to access the mainframe

3.1.5 Design Assumptions Part No design assumptions were needed in the modelling of the bolt‚ only that the base plate and bolt are connected with no weld area. The concrete structure was initially made with a width‚ breadth and height of 1m. The area where the bolt would be placed was cut out using the cut extrusion function in ABAQUS. Due to the large design of the concrete block‚ it is difficult to define a workable size mesh for the problem‚ as can be seen in Figure 24 and 25. Figure 24:Assembled
