Basics of the Domain Decomposition Method for Finite Element Analysis G.P. Nikishkov
University of Aizu, Aizu-Wakamatsu City, Fukushima, Japan Keywords: finite element method, domain decomposition, partitioning, parallel.
An introduction to the domain decomposition method for parallel finite element analysis is presented. The domain decomposition method allows decomposition of large-size problem solutions to solutions of several smaller size problems. Algorithms of domain partitioning with compute load balancing as well as direct and iterative solution techniques are considered. |
