INTRODUCTION
Structure and Organization
This document, the PRENOSTOP Tutorial/Reference Manual, explains the data entries and
procedures necessary to use the PRENOSTOP program. The organization of the PRENOSTOP
Tutorial/Reference Manual is similar to all of the TEAPAC manuals. Chapters 1 through 5 serve
as the program Tutorial Manual. The tutorial steps through a simple example problem and then
discusses the specific analysis techniques and procedures of the PRENOSTOP program. The
attached appendices form the program Reference Manual which provides easy look-up of detail
on the program's inputs, operation and output. The following paragraphs briefly describe each
section of this manual.
This chapter, Chapter 1, discusses the overall structure of the tutorial/reference manual and the
conventions used throughout (see the outline in Table 1-1). It also contains a brief explanation of
the basic procedures of TEAPAC which are described in detail in the TEAPAC
Tutorial/Reference Manual. If you are unfamiliar with the TEAPAC package, you could review
the tutorial section of the TEAPAC Tutorial/Reference Manual in order to better understand the
basic TEAPAC inputs and procedures.
