AbstractThis paper provides an overview of object-oriented programming and summarizes reasons why object oriented programming (OOP) can be an attractive programming approach for mass properties analysis. It addresses the pros and cons of OOP when applied to the development of mass properties analysis code. This paper includes sample listings of C++ code used to create mass properties objects and related objects. Object class definitions include vectors, tensors, coordinate transformations, complex numbers, and mass properties.
