 Pkg-Description: uncertainty treatment and reliability analyses
- OpenTURNS is an Open source initiative to Treat Uncertainties, Risks'N
- Statistics in a structured industrial approach.
+ OpenTURNS is an Open source initiative to Treat Uncertainties, Risks'N 
+ Statistics in a structured industrial approach. 
+ Since the beginning of 2005, a partnership of three companies has been working
+ on building together a tool designed to perform uncertainty treatment and 
+ reliability analyses.
+ .
+ OpenTURNS is a Unix/Linux software with three main components : 
+ .
+ - a scientific C++ library including an internal data model and algorithms 
+ dedicated to the treatment of uncertainties. The main function of that library
+ is giving to specific applications all the functionalities needed to treat 
+ uncertainties in studies. Targeted users are all engineers who want to 
+ introduce the probabilistic dimension in their so far deterministic studies. 
+ .
+ - an independent application with a graphical user interface. This application
+ was built to become the work environment for the specialist of the treatment 
+ of uncertainties. Targeted users are once again industrial practitioners: 
+ those who identify the treatment of uncertainties as a full task, which can be
+ spread to multiple engineering domains. 
+ .
+ - a python module with high level operators in the probabilistic and statistical
+ field. The interest of this language is to be both a powerful scientific 
+ language (capable of using C++ libraries), and a user friendly interpreted 
+ language like Matlab(tm) one. This python module was designed to make the 
+ development of prototypes easier (in order to test new algorithms and methods 
+ for example), to become an easy-to-use support for educational works. This 
+ module intends to become a natural environment capable of integrating new 
+ developments within the field of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis. The 
+ targeted users are here research centres and the academic community.
