AB  - In this article, we present a computational framework for solving problems arising in electromagnetism. The framework is derived from a modern geometrical approach and is based on differential forms (or p-forms). These geometrical entities provide a natural framework for modeling of physical quantities such as electric potentials, electric and magnetic fields, electric and magnetic fluxes, etc. We have implemented an object oriented class library, called FEMSTER. The library is designed for high order finite element approximations. In addition, it can be expanded by including user-defined data types or by deriving new classes. Finally, the versatility of the software is shown through different simulations.
