The Design and Implementation of an Object-oriented Graphics Software in the Finite Element System for Sheet Metal Forming

Graphics software is an important part of a finite element system for sheet metal forming. This paper presents the design and implementation of the graphic software and emphatically explains the application of the object oriented programming technology. Combined the function of the graphic software, the inherited relation of classes in the software and some key technique in implementation are also showed. It is proved that this software is of good flexibility, reliability and expansibility.
