Abstract :
This paper describes the potential solution offered by object-oriented programming (OOP) to solve problems of data management. The practical examples are discussed with particular reference to finite element method, The main aim is to show the potentiality of the technology based on objects in systems that use complex data structure. Class descriptions are given. The codes are presented using the OOP language C++
