物件導向平行有限元素計算環境之發展研究

In order to solve large and complicated
engineering problems using finite element
analysis, increasing attention has been paid to
applications of parallel computing
technology. However, applications of parallel
computing to finite element analysis have not
been very popular due to the difficulties of
rebuilding finite element analysis programs
for parallel computing. Therefore, the present
research has developed an object-oriented
environment to facilitate the study and
applications of parallel finite element
computations. By using object-oriented
technology, the complexities encountered in
finite element computations as well as
parallel computing are encapsulated and
hidden from the user to ease the
programming task. An easy-to-use and userfriendly
interface is supported by the
environment to facilitate the development of
parallel finite element codes for users who
only need to understand the principle of the
finite element method and basic concepts of
parallel computing and object-oriented
programming.
