The Fortran IV program that I am referring to was one of the first 3D finite element programs. It ran on a Digital and/or Cray supercomputer. It was back in the early 80's. It took hours and cost thousands of dollars to perform one analysis consisting of about 500 2D elements (I can not remember the amount of CPU time). The original software that I modified was called SAP4. It was created at UC Berkley and was open source. I spent years modifying the code to suit my needs in geomechanical engineering. Those were the good old days when programs were written so efficiently that they were works of art.
