Abstract

This paper introduces an object oriented approach to the boundary element method (BEM) applied to solid elastostatic analysis. The proposed solution is made up of object classes which can be used for implementing object oriented programs of numerical analysis based on BEM. Furthermore, one hopes that in the future it can be used as a foundation for object oriented programming of applications based on FEM/BEM coupling. The object classes presented in the work are extensions of the class library of OSW -- Object Structural Workbench, a toolkit for developing object oriented modeling applications in science and engineering.
