Abstract
SCOPE stands for Structural Computations using Object-oriented Programming in Engineering. The Finite Elements Method FEM has become the most popular technique for solving a wide range of complex engineering problems. In this paper are pointed out the advantages and drawbacks of object-oriented programming when this technique is used in the implementation of FEM programs. A detailed description of objects used in the implementation of FEM is also given.
