Pyjive#
Pyjive is a finite element library in python. It is inspired by the jive C++ library developed that is used for research in the Computational Mechanics group.
This book contains a collection of workshops in which pyjive is used to perform finite element analysis on various problems and to illustrate how theory from the book can be translated to functioning code.

Object Oriented Programming (OOP)#
Pyjive makes extensive use of classes and objects. A class is a collection of funtions and variables, and an object in an instance of that class. For a quick overview of classes in Python, watch this video.
