Abstract
One of the concerns often expressed about the use of object oriented methods in numerical software is the possible loss of computational speed. There are three components in engineering analysis: the user, the mathematical methods and the computer. This paper describes an object oriented finite element program which uses a distributed data model. It is shown that this model enables these three components to work together more harmoniously, leading to more efficient software. The program uses a sub-structure based calculation strategy, and multi-threading.
