Previous issue date: 2004 / In this work we address the conceptualisation of a Simulation Environment for the
development of multi-physic simulators based on the Finite Element Method (FEM).
Simulators are economical means of understanding and evaluating the performance of
abstract and real-world systems. Our simulation perspective is the class of simulations
for phenomena represented by a set of functions distributed in space and possibly in time,
whose behaviour is based on the FEM. The importance of these simulators has to do with
the effectiveness of the FEM, a general-purpose numerical method, which can easily be
developed to analyse and solve various kinds of problems frequently found in human
daily life, and in its power to provide accuracy and reliability in the solution of partial
differential equations. FEM Simulations consider systems of possibly millions of
algebraic equations, numerical integrations, mesh generations, matrix and vector
manipulations, solutions of linear and non-linear systems, and so on. These features
undoubtly justify the development of a specific computational environment. This work
emphasizes the adaptation of software engineering practices and methodologies for
organizing and reusing the specific domain of simulators formulated using the FEM. The
work defines an environment and its architecture for the development of simulators. It
also proposes some specific patterns for solving relevant problems of our domain of
knowledge, and describes their application through a case study.
