| Summary: | This paper describes a finite element kernel designed to provide high levels of adaptability and flexibility for modelling and analysis. The kernel is based on high-level abstractions that can be used to create a variety of interactive finite element-based modelling applications. The structure and functionality of the kernel are embedded in frameworks and classes of objects which encapsulate modelling and computational capabilities in modular form. Sample uses of the kernel are illustrated via prototype modelling applications, including a direct manipulation modelling environment, which exemplifies the type of application for which the modelling capabilities of the kernel are well suited. |
