+Objecto Oriented Finite Element Analysis of Real Material Microstructures
+__________________
+
+OOF is designed to help materials scientists calculate macroscopic
+properties from images of real or simulated microstructures. It is
+composed of two cooperating parts: ppm2oof and oof. ppm2oof reads images
+in the ppm (Portable Pixel Map) format and assigns material properties to
+features in the image. oof conducts virtual experiments on the data
+structures created by ppm2oof to determine the macroscopic properties of
+the microstructure. Currently, the programs calculate stresses and
+strains, but someday we hope to include thermal, electric, and magnetic
+field calculations.
