The main difficulty in running a rigid-plastic finite element program for metal forming analysis on a personal computer lies in the lengthy computation, typical of non-linear problems. To make the PC more acceptable for forming analyses in industrial applications, some measures have been proposed, such as using a higher order IVP solver and modifying the generation of the initial velocity field to account for the existence of rigid zones, if any. As a result, 2-D metal forming problems with moderate shape complexity can be solved on PCs within a reasonable length of time.

This chapter shows, through the example of the addition of a plate and shell element to freeware FEM-object, an object-oriented (C++) finite element program, how object-oriented approaches, as opposed to procedural approaches, make finite element codes more compact, more modular, and versatile but mainly more easily expandable, in order to improve the continuity and the compatibility between software of research and industrial software. The fundamental traits of object-oriented programming are first briefly reviewed, and it is shown how such an approach simplifies the coding process. Then, the isotropic shell and orthotropic plate formulations used are given and the discretized equations developed. Finally, the necessary additions to the FEM-object code are reviewed. Numerical examples using the newly created plate membrane plate element are shown.

Recently internal and external prestressing enjoys a booming in the bridge construction, but the existing structural analysis programs of bridge can’t meet the requirements of analyzing the internal and external prestressing comprehensively. This paper will simulate internal and external prestressing effects by the finite element method; come up with some programming methods based on the object-oriented thought; and put forward the design and implementation methods of internal and external prestressing effect class by abstracting them to the corresponding class and elaborating the main features of each class, including the instantiation object and the typical method, to realizing the internal and external prestressing effects calculating. All of these will provide some references to the development of structural analysis program of bridge.
