The problems of computational mechanics, concerning with application of finite element analysis to structural constructions, are discussed. Our attention is addressed to medium-class software for personal computers with which structural constructions are usually analyzed. The complexity of a system and simplicity of its components, the large-scale of finite element problem, the heterogeneity of finite elements and its coupling, the estimation of correctness of finite element model, the problems of seismic analysis, the problem of indeterminacy and so on are the objective of this work.
