  • Abstract
    The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how the concepts of object-oriented programming can be applied to the finite element method, and to illustrate the advantages of this approach. The basic concepts of the object-oriented programming method are also presented. A 3-D magnetostatic program that uses nodal elements and edge elements has been developed and implemented using the C++ language
