A global-local finite element method suitable for parallel computationsA global-local finite element analysis procedure is developed based on the fast convergent nature of FEM in displacement. A special scheme is used to utilize the global displacement solution as boundary conditions for local regions of interest. In the local region, a refined mesh is used for further stress analysis. This global-local procedure can be easily programmed in parallel on MIMD multi-processor computers for significant time savings. A Sequent Balance 21000 system is used for demonstrating the parallel programming.
