  • Systems and methods for distributed fracture simulation
    Patent number: 11386249
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for simulating propagation of cracks in an object in a physical system. Data indicative of the object in the physical system is received, where the object includes a plurality of cracks. Characteristics of each of the plurality of cracks are determined based on the data, and a weight value is calculated for each of the plurality of cracks based on the determined characteristics. A group of one or more processors is assigned to simulate behavior of each crack, where a number of processors assigned to each group is based on the calculated weight value associated with that crack. Simulation data is received from each of the groups of processors, and the simulation data is stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium.
