Hello,

I am trying to get information on the state-of-the-art in the use of
distributed architecture in structural design codes based on the
finite elements technique. I would like to know for instance if
industrial parallel codes are widespread or still marginal, what kind
of problems are treated (linear and non-linear problems, static and
dynamic analysis ...) and what methods are used, what still resist
parallelisation (implicit problems ?) and if much effort is done or if
not much progress is hoped...   

Does anyone on this group have clues on this subject ? Any information
is welcome..
