The aim of this paper is to describe the object-oriented design of the finite element based simulation code. The overall, object-oriented structure is described, and the role of the fundamental classes is discussed. The paper discusses the advanced parallel, adaptive, and multiphysics capabilities of the OOFEM code, and illustrates them on the basis of selected examples.
