FEM_Object, an object-oriented finite element package

FEM_Object 001 in Smalltalk V offers a user-friendly object-oriented finite element development environment; it includes truss and plain-strain elements in statics and dynamics. Extensive tutorials explain how to expand the existing package. FEM_Object 001 in C++ can be used to solve large problems; it retains most pleasant features of its Smalltalk version without the drawbacks (limited problem size, slow execution speed). This program has been tested on the following platforms :

 - IBM PC (or compatible) with Borland C++ or Turbo C++ compiler,

 - Silicon Graphics station with AT & T C++ compiler,

 - Sun Sparc2 station with AT & T C++ compiler.

 Extreme care was devoted in using only standard C++ 2.0 instructions. Only the functions that measure execution times are not standard, because they differ from a computer to another. Implementing this software on another computer should induce very few modifications, possibly none.
