UMA REVISÃO PARCIAL DE ARQUITETURAS ORIENTADAS A OBJETO PARA
PROGRAMAS DE ELEMENTOS FINITOS
Summary :
THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PAPER IS TO DISCUSS SOME WORKS BASED ON THE APPLICATION OF OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING (OOP) IN FINITE ELEMENT (FE) SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT. THIS REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES THAT THE USE OF OOP BRINGS IN ENGINEERING SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE. A CRITICAL REVIEW OF SOME RELEVANT REFERENCES ALLOW THE IDENTIFICATION OF A FEW COMMON CHARACTERISTICS FOUND IN SEVERAL OBJECT ORIENTED FINITE ELEMENT CODES, WHICH ARE THEN USED AS A BASE TO FURTHER ANALYZE REFERENCES COMMONLY CITED IN THE SOLID MECHANICS LITERATURE.
