This work presents an open and extensible modeling strategy, developed in Python, for creating planar subdivision models. The strategy takes the form of a geometric modeling library called HETOOL, developed in the work and of general use, based on the well-known and renowned Half-Edge topological data structure. In addition to considering the topological and geometric aspects of the modeling, a strategy also allows for an end-user configuration of simulation attributes. These characteristics, added to the availability of the source code, provide a useful and relevant tool for the development of educational tools for modeling computational mechanics. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed strategy, an application was developed, called the Finite Element Method Educational Computer Program (FEMEP), which allows the creation of two-dimensional finite element models, with mesh generation per region, for various types of mechanics simulation computational. The developed package presents iterative and dynamic modeling that performs an automatic intersection between the modeled geometric elements. HETOOL offers several functions and facilities to the user, allowing the use of the package even without the user having knowledge about the topological concepts involved in the implementation of this data structure. The package makes it possible to create and configure attributes simply and quickly from a file in JSON format. This versatility in creating attributes allows the application of this package to solve several problems present in engineering and in other areas of the scientific environment.
