Abstract
In this work we present some results from the EUROPORT project EUROPENGER-FEDEM. We give a brief presentation of the FEDEM code (Finite Element Dynamics in Elastic Mechanisms), which is a multidisciplinary, multibody simulation package for mechanical systems, and the preliminary results obtained in the parallelization of the system.
We have emphasized the data distribution strategies and problems encountered in the parallelization process.
