✦ Synopsis
The objective computing project was created with the intention of writing a fully interactive-adaptive finite element program using the object oriented programming philosophy. In a first phase of the project, a graphical environment was developed to simplify and generalize the interactive programming concept. The resulting interface library gives the programmer easy access to graphical user interface tools such as windows, menus and dialogs. In order to improve programmer efficiency, the same interface library is being implemented to run under various existing toolboxes such as Macintosh, MS-Windows, OSF/Motif and others. During the second phase of the project, an innovative finite element data structure is developed which will be used as a finite element research platform.
