1. A computational automation system comprising:

  • a) an executive driver which is a main program of a computing system that maintains a plurality of files opened to support the mission of computational automation, which allows a very large number of executions of various objective tasks, computational or non-computational, for an entire session until calling for exit by user'"'"'s menu choice;

    b) a symbolic numeric interpreter means that reads in input as character string and decomposes the string into symbols and numeric quantities ready for decoders to process further;

    c) a pair of decoding means comprising means for determining the content of the symbolic-numeric input and means for organizing system actions and responses by calling at least one specific objective task subroutine and passing information required by the objective task subroutine to indicated locations;

    d) a main menu means for programs of a common class that offers three input options, namely sequential input means using a switching means which comprises means for indicating the end of the sequential input means, computer guided random order symbolic-numeric input means, and free symbolic-numeric input means;

    e) a collection of CAE objective task programs stored in the system in the form of building blocks at user'"'"'s disposal which can be used separately to do one task at time, or combinatively to do one task after another until all are done;

    f) means for performing parametric study, also called domain analysis on at least one computational method by performing a plurality of executions of the computational method with input data generated by automation, with ranges, parameters, and goals all under user'"'"'s control, and sending the output data to a graphical output device wherein for the computational method a determination of parametric/domain'"'"'s effect caused by algorithm dependent digital computational nature is made and is without uncertainty of possible human errors;

    g) means for performing other much simple or more advanced automation in form of added tasks or through users own free experimentation of new communication power and session log file convenience, unlimited new algorithms of automation can be readily generated this way, such that in principle with such tool no one need to duplicate the exactly same manual session twice.
