Abstract
In this paper the Sub-domain Generation Method (SGM)
previously developed for finite element meshes composed of
triangular elements is generalised to account for meshes composed
of arbitrary quadrilateral elements. A neural network
of enhanced accuracy was developed to predict the number
of quadrilaterals generated within each coarse quadrilateral
element after refinement using an adaptive re-meshing procedure.
Partitioning of the meshes was undertaken on the
coarse mesh using a genetic algorithm to optimise the partitions
considering both load balancing and interprocessor
communication of the subsequent finite element analysis. A
series of examples of increasing refinement were decomposed
by considering a single coarse mesh of a fixed number of elements.
