Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how the concepts of object- oriented programming can be applied to the finite element method, and to illustrate the advantages of this approach. The basic concepts of t he object-oriented programming method are also presented. A 3-D magnet ostatic program that uses nodal elements and edge elements has been de veloped and implemented using the C++ language.
