Abstract :
In this paper results obtained from the parallelisation of existing 3D electromagnetic Finite Element codes within the ESPRIT HPCN project PARTEL are presented. The parallelisation procedure, based on the Bulk Synchronous Parallel approach, is outlined and the encouraging results obtained in terms of speed-up on some industrially significant test cases are described and discussed
