Conflict of interest

Hello, CProvat. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Gyroscope, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -AndrewDressel (talk) 16:59, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. DMacks (talk) 04:00, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello. Your recent edit appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Dear Sir (MrOllie),

I am one of the experts, with a PhD in Computer Methods, (in which the finite element method belongs). It is a pity that I see other programs of much less value than PERMAS in your valuable Wikipedia's webside. I met PERMAS for the first time in 1990, and made an excellent impression to me. It is many years that I use it for educational and research purposes. The company is a spin-off that came from the University of Stuttgart, in which Professor John Argyris (the 'father' of the FEM in UK and Germany) was the director of the Centre of Computer Methods and also the Editor-in-Chief of the famous journal "Computer methods for applied mechanics and engineering".

If scientific papers have to be inserted (I do not have experience to do it), I propose at least two of them as follows:

1) Ast, M., Labarta, J., Manz, H., Perez, A., Schulz, U., Solé, J. (1995). A general approach for an automatic parallelization applied to the finite element code PERMAS.

Abstract: The general purpose finite element (FE) system PERMAS[1]has been extended to support shared and distributed parallel computer architectures as well as workstation clusters. The methods used to parallelize this large application software package are of high generality and have the capability to parallelize all mathematical operations in a FE analysis—not only the solver. Utilizing the existing hyper-matrix data structure for large, sparsely populated matrices, a programming tool called PTM was introduced that automatically parallelizes block matrix operations on-the-fly. PTM totally hides parallelization from higher order algorithms, thus giving the physically oriented expert a virtually sequential programming environment. An operation graph of sub-matrix operations is asynchronously built and executed. A clustering algorithm distributes the work, performing a dynamic load balancing and exploiting data locality. Furthermore, a distributed data management system allows free data access from each node. The generality of the approach is demonstrated by some benchmark examples dealing with different types of FE analyses.
