In any case, the computer was only a tool that helped her realize a preëxisting vision; it did not create her aesthetic.
Thus, computer analysis is a tool that can be used by designers to analyze the sensitivity of changes to control surfaces on maneuverability at the initial design phase of a craft.

Modern online recommendations began in 1992, when two American computer scientists, John Reidl and Paul Resnick, developed a tool that collected user ratings to suggest articles on Usenet, an Internet discussion system.
Computational fluid dynamics is a computer simulation tool that creates a 'virtual' wind tunnel to envisage the motion of fluids around objects.
Researchers at the Department of Science at Dartmouth College have developed a computer tool that shows where images have been manipulated, using computer software that scans the image and quantifies changes.
