Abstract

Substructuring technique has been used in the development of finite element analysis programs to reduce core memory requirement and to accelerate the analysis process. However, inclusion of this feature using conventional computer language requires extra programming efforts that, in most cases, produce non-modular code. On the contrary, using the object oriented programming (OOP) technique, the extension to include substructuring capability can be easily accomplished by utilizing the features of hierarchical inheritance and modular encapsulation provided by OOP. This paper shows the detailed process for developing a special object class representing a substructure from two existing object classes, and its use in assembling a functional finite element analysis program with substructuring capability. An illustrative example is provided.
