Abstract An overview of an object-oriented class library, CFEL, for finite element modelling is presented. The structure and class hierarchies of CFEL are presented and how the library forms part of a larger computational modelling class framework, CML. The CML framework is a move towards a general framework for geometric computational modelling which unifies traditionally separate disciplines such as stress analysis and fluid flow. CML consists of the following set of core libraries for modelling: i) data structures, ii) element and structure geometric modelling, iii) material and geometric characteristics and iv) solid and fluid finite element modelling, of which CFEL is a member.
