Abstract :
Parallel computing has become a promising trend in science and engineering computing. In this paper, parallel finite element method using domain decomposition technique is adapted to a distributed parallel environment of workstation cluster. The algorithm is presented for solving the conjugate gradient method on a parallel platform with element based domain decomposition. Using the developed code, a dam structural analysis problem is solved on workstation cluster and results are given. The parallel performance is analyzed.
