Abstract
Over the last decade, there has been an increased awareness
of the benefits of employing Object-Oriented (OO) design
and methodologies for development of software. Among the
various languages available for OO development, Fortran 95
has some clear advantages for scientific and engineering
programming. It offers features similar to other OO languages like C++ and Smalltalk as well as extensive and
efficient numerical abilities. This paper will describe the OO
design and implementation of P-Adaptive Finite Element
Analysis (FEA) using Fortran. We will demonstrate how
various OO principles were successfully employed to achieve
greater flexibility, easier maintainability and extensibility.
This is helpful for a complex program like an adaptive finite
element implementation.
