Abstract :
This paper presented the parallel solution of general 3D EM problems using the FETI-DPEM (dual-primal finite element tearing and interconnecting method). An excellent parallel efficiency has been achieved on a cluster system with an automatic decomposition of the computational domain into hundreds of subdomains. In this work, the parallel implementation of the FETI-DPEM method on a distributed-memory system using the message passing interface (MPI) is discussed in detail.
