A Finite Element Framework for Geotechnical Applications Based on Object-orientated Programming
A Finite Element Framework for Geotechnical Applications Based on Object-orientated Programming
Verlag der Fachvereine Hochschulverlag AG an der ETH Zurich | Peter Fritz, Xiong Zheng | Englisch | Pages: 112 | 2002 | ISBN 3728128287 | PDF | 2 MB
This publication describes an alternative methodology for finite element programming based on
object-oriented techniques. The concepts of object-oriented programming are outlined and it is
explained, how this new paradigm facilitates design, implementation and support of large
programming systems. Because the knowledge of object-oriented programs is not dispersed in the
actual code, but rather localized in structures, the causal knowledge, meta knowledge and
constraints may be integrated in a uniform manner. Control structures separate the external level
('what') from the internal ('how') by encapsulating the actual implementation. As programming
language C++ is used.
Up till now several object-oriented finite element frameworks have been presented which are
partially extendable. However, the extendibility is limited to a few specific directions, e.g. the
introduction of new element types or solving strategies. Much less support is available for task
control, creation of new material models, configurable field variable types or extensions of the
analysis model. No framework is available which is especially designed to cover the problems
encountered when dealing with geotechnical engineering. IMAGINE tries to close these gaps.
