Abstract
Object-oriented programming has become the main paradigm in general computing, and has started to make significant inroads into scientific computing. This paper reviews the progress made within the field of finite element analysis for structural engineering. The need for a new approach to finite element programming is established, namely the increasing complexity of software. Then the development of object-oriented methods to finite element programming is reviewed, and the progress made in handling the areas of complexity is considered. The main contribution of object-oriented methods to finite element analysis is the application of software engineering advances to finite element programming.
