ABSTRACT A computer program is described for simulating the behavior of uniaxial rheological models containing up to 8 chains, each with up to 4 groups of viscous and/or elastic elements together with fracture elements. The time course of force, or of deformation, can be prescribed and deformation, or force, simulated. Alternatively, the program can simulate a relaxation, starting after a prescribed time or at a prescribed force. If a suitable plotter is available, the specified time course and the simulated behaviour can be automatically plotted. The input‐output format has been designed to be useful to rheologists without computer experience.
