Abstract :
In this paper, we examine the advantages of using a distributed version of the block preconditioned conjugate gradient as solving algorithm for FEM models arising from electrothermal problems. The implementation is done using WMPI as programming environment in a cluster configuration. The targeted application being to model heat transfer in a dry type transformer, we intend to include fluid flow analysis in addition to the conduction analysis
