Abstract
An object oriented data base and application management system for integrated, interdisciplinary mechanical system simulation is developed and implemented; with emphasis on flexible body dynamic simulation, stress history calculation, and fatigue life prediction. The system consists of (1) functional objects that perform a particular analysis task, (2) data objects that store data in the data base, (3) data and object management tools that manage the communication between the different parts of the system, and (4) network communication tools that communicate between different hardware platforms. Functional objects are developed and implemented for the different analysis needs of the system. Such objects (1) hide implementation details, (2) provide easy extendability, and (3) simplify use of the system. Data are organized in terms of objects, object hierarchies, and object attributes. This provides quasi data inheritance and information hiding, which allows for a data base schema that is both robust and extendable.
