Abstract

This paper presents a data structure for a 3-D preprocessor of an electromagnetic field computation program using object-oriented programming. An object-oriented database was organized to store all the necessary data to build an electromagnetic problem and generate its mesh, giving better flexibility and allowing a high improvement in organization
