A mathematical model, algorithm, and software for numerical 
simulation by the finite-element method of viscoelastic deformation 
of thin, inhomogeneous (in the horizontal plane) slabs having a geometrically 
complex boundary and (or) through vertical holes are presented. Using 
the software devised, the mathematical model developed has been investigated.
