The paper describe a detailed study into the object-oriented implementation of distributed finite element analysis on desktop computers using the .NET framework. Numerical tests where carried out and reasonable speed-up was achieved, particularly for direct solution methods. It is concluded that .NET provides a viable framework for implementing distributed computing on networks of personal computers.
