French term or phrase: Chaine de calculs

This is an isolated translatable term in a file of computer code. The only context I can give is that this is a computerised bridge design program. However, the term is not likely to have anything whatsoever specifically to do with bridges.

computing sequence(s)

Explanation:
Grand Dictionnaire gives computing sequence for chaîne de calcul. In your case, calculs is plural so that may possibly change the meaning but I think this is most likely it.

Termium gives computing path but the field is air transport so that may be industry specific.

It occurs quite often as a verb phrase but I only found a few instances of it as a noun phrase. Since it is in isolation I think it's a noun phrase.

That's why my confidence is only medium.

La chaîne CEDRE est développée selon une architecture moderne permettant modularité et adaptabilité, ce qui inclut notamment l'implémentation de nouveaux modèles.
Ainsi, la CHAÎNE CEDRE est conçue autour de cinq solveurs:
 CHARME : Navier-Stokes multi-espèces, turbulent, réactif
 SPIREE : phases dispersées (Eulérien)
 SPARTE : phases dispersées (Lagrangien)
 ACACIA : thermique dans les solides
 ASTRE : rayonnement (Monte-Carlo)

La deuxième génération du code de réseau de transport multigroupe français APOLLO 2 a été présentée en 1987 à la conférence M&C qui s'est tenue à Paris. La première version du code APOLLO 2 a été développée par le Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique (CEA) sur fonds propres. Depuis lors, la compagnie électrique française Electricité de France (EDF) et le constructeur français Framatome ont rejoint le CEA pour soutenir financièrement le développement d'APOLLO 2.
[ ... ] Framatome a d'ores et déjà intégré APOLLO 2 comme élément de sa chaîne SCIENCE qui a reçu en 1999 la certification de la NRC. Enfin la nouvelle CHAÎNE DE CALCUL d'Electricité de France intègre elle aussi APOLLO 2.

PROGRAM SUITE
ITAS consists of a suite of SAS programs that process the primary WTO data, convert it into a standardised form, apply various formulas to tariffs on bilateral trade flows and create a range of data summaries for further analysis. ITAS is organised in a MODULAR form, consisting of SIX PROGRAM MODULES. Appendix D of the Staff Working Paper, An Integrated Tariff Analysis System: Software and Database, contains more information about the ITAS program structure
