Abstract
This paper introduces a new Parallel Structural (ParaStruc) analysis framework. This framework combines a newly introduced Row-wise Parallel Finite Element Analysis Algorithm (RWPFEA) with a new set of parallel numerical and communication libraries (Trilinos). The performance of the new framework is evaluated using a shared-memory parallel environment with Silicon Graphics Altix 3700 supercomputer, and using a distributed-memory parallel environment using Apple Xserve G5 compute cluster. In both cases, a 3-dimensional simulation of 50-story/10-frame/10-bay undergoing nonlinear response is carried out and the performance results are presented.
