Local/global non-intrusive parallel coupling for large scale mechanical analysis
Résumé
The permanent increase in available computing resources can achieve more and more ambitious numerical simulations (most of the time using the finite element method). When dealing with non-linear complex models on large 3D structures, the computational cost becomes prohibitive. In this paper, we present the recent developments linked to an innovative computing method: non-intrusive coupling. Such a method allows to efficiently take into account local modifiations on an initial existing model in a non-intrusive way: the previously computed analysis is left unchanged. Large scale linear models can thus be easily computed, then localised non-linear complex models can be used to pinpoint the analysis where required on the structure. After a presentation of the scientific context and a description of non-intrusive coupling methods, we will present its application to crack growth simulation and parallel structure analysis.
