Abstract
This work discusses the advantages of developing a finite
element analysis program (FEM) using Object-Oriented
Programming (OOP) techniques in a Windows graphical
environment. The main objective is to describe the benefits
and difficulties involved in changing from procedural
languages like FORTRAN, to the C++ object-oriented
language and the additional effort of programming to
graphical environments. This shift in the programming
paradigm introduces many new implementation
possibilities.
