Abstract

This project seeks to modify the fundamental method of solving finite element problems by using object oriented analysis, design, and programming techniques. Finite element problems can be solved more efficiently by incorporating object oriented features such as polymorphism, inheritance and encapsulation. Object oriented technology models the basic behavior of the finite element analysis problems more effectively resulting in a simplified solution to an otherwise complex problem.
