Abstract

This paper describes a parallel p-version FEM approach for civil and structural engineering. After a brief introduction to the p-version of the finite element method we will consider a condensation technique for the interior degrees of freedom which decreases the size of the global equation system essentially. The implementation of the parallel approach described in the third part is concentrated on the more time consuming element based computation, the solution of the global equation systems is sequential. Finally, the efficiency of the implemented algorithm is shown in two numerical examples.
