Abstract
The use of the object-oriented approach allowed sub-structure based algorithms to be implemented in a straightforward manner, and thus to implement more flexible and efficient algorithms. This relates to reducing the need for stiffness matrix recalculation, and subsequent decomposition. It is found that robust and extensible class hierarchies can be constructed if appropriate class design guidelines are followed carefully. Furthermore, the object-oriented approach yields significant advantages in terms of software engineering, and applying functionality efficiently.
