Object oriented modeling of a smart structure

摘要

The Object Oriented Modelling approach permits modular development of a smart structure simulator. Textural programming of smart structures simulators is time c onsuming and often requires reprogramming to account for design changes. Object Oriented Modelling facilitates interchangeability of modules, permits the develpment of a library of resuable modules and can be easily formulated as a graphical programming approach. This approach permits rapid prototyping and results in an increase in the number of design alternative that can be evaluated in a short period of time.
