Abstract
This paper first looks at the problems related to the current use of c omputer systems in structural engineering problem solving. It then exa mines the lessons learned from the design and implementation of an 'in telligent' structural design system, IPDOS [C. K. Soh and A. K. Soh, C omput. Struct. 46, 759-769 (1993)], for the preliminary design of fixe d offshore structures. Finally, from the current limitations of IPDOS, the paper projects the requirements and development of next generatio n structural engineering systems to overcome the inherent weaknesses o f current systems.
