  • DISTRIBUTED-MEMORY PARALLEL PROCESSING OF FINITE ELEMENTS BASED ON CONTACT PAIR SPLITTING
    Publication number: 20240086582
    Abstract: Methods for modeling contact pairs in a model of a physical object include generating a contact pair including a contact surface and a target surface, where the contact pair further includes contact elements of the contact surface and the target surface, splitting the contact pair into contact sub-pairs along splitting boundaries, augmenting each contact sub-pair with contact elements from adjacent contact sub-pairs at the splitting boundaries, distributing the augmented contact sub-pairs to a plurality of parallel processors for finite element solutions of the contact sub-pairs, receiving the finite element solutions of the contact sub-pairs from the plurality of parallel processors, and combining the finite element solutions of the contact sub-pairs into finite element solutions of the contact pair.
