Abstract

The finite element method is by its nature very modular. Object oriented programming enables full advantage to be taken of this modularity. This makes for safer and easier programming, and extending or modifying object oriented programs is very straightforward. The paper describes an object oriented implementation of the finite element method, and illustrates the advantages of the approach.

Making a ยฎnite element code easier to maintain is achieved by further modularizing it. Due to its two levels of modularity (of procedures and data), object-oriented programming is the method of choice. Its potential is investigated in two bottlenecks of ยฎnite element programming where so far it has

Continuum mechanics and the finite element method are used as basic tools to facilitate the animation of deformable objects. Two unique features in this paper are: (1) introduction of a framework for 3-D finite interface elements to deal with object interaction and (2) a simple approach to handle f
