Aspects of an object-oriented finite element environment

Abstract The object-oriented approach provides an appropriate context for an integrated description of finite element related techniques within a single unified environment, combining symbolic and numerical manipulations, graphics and expertise. This paper discusses and illustrates the key features of such an integrated environment which includes an object-oriented graphic interactive environment, object-oriented operators for symbolic mathematical derivations, an object-oriented finite element environment, and its extension to object-oriented knowledge based expert assistance.
