According to the rapid progress in the performance of the microprocessors and their cost-down, the Engineering Work Station (EWS) and Personal Computer (PC) have been applied to the various problems in the computational mechanics. The finite element method (FEM) is the relatively popular technique of computational analyses among various numerical methods which are aided by the EWS and the PC. The FEM will require the preprocessing to discretize the analyzed domain into triangles. In the paper, we shall present the development of highly interactive and portable pre-processors for 2-D FEM analysis. The present system works on X Window System Version 11 Release 5 (X11R5) on EWSs. Since that tool makes the best use of Graphical User Interface (GUI), even a novice user can make the mesh data and visualize the calculated results readily. The high portability of this GUI is ensured because we adopted the licensefree Athena Widget set as the fundamental GUI gadgets.
