Abstract
This paper presents an efficient computational implementation
for collapse analysis of offshore frame structures on
distributed memory parallel computers. The implementation
uses an automatic FEM domain decomposition and a sparse
multifrontal method for large scale computing. An
incremental-iterative algorithm to simulate the ultimate
strength of the structure is used, taking into account an
elastic-plastic analysis with strain-hardening and large
displacement effects. Numerical examples are presented to
demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of this strategy on the
Intel iPSC/860 supercomputer.
