Abstract:
      In this paper,object-oriented method has been used to realize cluster based parallel finite element analysis.First,a new method used to build the computing cluster is introduced,then an OO parallel message passing library based on the detailed analysis of MPI/PVM is explained.And two different methods have been developed in this computing system to realize parallel FE analysis,one is sub-structure method which has been extended by combing some parallel system equation solver,another way is to transfer traditional parallel PCG method onto cluster platform,and the new data transfer method has been explained in detail.Some examples show the high efficiency of the new OO parallel FEA analysis kernel.
