Abstract
The object-orientated 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 include 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. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
