This section describes the architecture of the
Abaqus
C++ interface to an output database.
The output database is an object-oriented database, which means
that the data are held by “objects” (C++ classes) that have certain behavior
(C++ methods). The methods of an object in the database allow access to and
manipulation of the data held by the object. The data members of an object can
be either primitives (integer, floating point, string) or other objects.
