Abstract :
A general computer aided description environment for the treatment of discrete problems, based on a concise structure for both development and application levels, is described and applied to the finite element method. Its characteristics reveal its great ability to welcome in an evolutive way a wide range of physical models and numerical methods, with any coupling of them. It is therefore adapted to various activities, such as research, collaboration, education, training and industrial studies
