Abstract : |
The electronic prototyping of a physical object starts with the user completely specifying the problem on an assumed initial geometry, followed by the simulation of the physics and the satisfiability of some a priori defined design objectives. The process might be repeated several times until the optimal design is obtained. This paper addresses the various issues involved in the parallel implementation of the above design process. The methodology adopted is applied on the continuous and discrete geometric data associated with the physical object and the simulation of its physics respectively. In this paper we present the formulation of the parallel electronic prototyping process for some class of structural engineering problems and the parallel algorithms developed and implemented on the nCUBE II machine for the realization of adaptive mesh generation, mesh splitting and shape optimization together with their measured performance., |
