Domain decomposition is central to MPP-LSDYNA as it determines the final load balance on each of the compute nodes. The default (and most widely used) decomposition method is the Recursive Coordinate Bisection (RCB) which recursively halves the model using the longest dimension of the input model. army assessment risk dodge car accessory pipe water ochelari [...]

RCB Decomposition and LS-DYNA Built-In Intelligence

Published by February 19th, 2007 in LS-DYNA Bytes and LS-DYNA MPP. 0 CommentsYou may have read the previous post on deformable to rigid switching which works by turning a predefined set of deformable components into a rigidbody at a user-defined time to save on element processing costs. This may not necessarily be true when running using any of the MPP-LSDYNA executables since the domain decomposition routines do [...]
Load Balance in FMVSS 207/210 Simulations for MPP
Published by February 16th, 2007 in LS-DYNA Bytes and LS-DYNA MPP. 0 CommentsAnalyses involving automotive seat designs for loadcases such as FMVSS 207/210 has shown some poor load balance on compute nodes when using the default decomposition in MPP LS-DYNA. In FMVSS 207/210 type simulations, the computationally expensive portion of the model lies at the seat and its immediate viscinity while the rest of the model involves [...]
Simulation Model Decomposition Using Recursive Coordinate Bisection (RCB) Method
Published by September 17th, 2006 in LS-DYNA MPP. 1 CommentIn the area of distributed computing using Massively Parrallel Processing (MPP) LS-DYNA, finite element model decomposition is performed after initial processing of the input deck to “distribute” the model content to compute nodes. There are two primary goals for model decomposition. First goal is of of course to “break-down” the given problem into smaller pieces [...]
