Abstract

In an earlier paper some recent developments in computational technology to structural engineering were described. The developments included: parallel and distributed computing; neural networks; and genetic algorithms. In this paper t he authors concentrate on parallel implementations of neural networks and genetic algorithms. In the final section of the paper the authors show how a parallel finite element analysis may be undertaken in an efficient manner by preprocessing of the finite element model using a genetic algorithm utilising a neural network predictor. This preprocessing is the partitioning of the finite element mesh into subdomains to ensure load balancing and minimum interprocessor communication during the parallel finite element analysis on a MIMD distributed memory computer.
