Abstract

This paper presents the OpenMP parallelization of the Finite Element code LAGAMINE. It is a non-linear great deformations code for solid mechanics. The parallelization approach uses coarse grain: for the element loop, to build the stiffness matrix and for the direct solver, to compute the LU factorisation. Application is proposed to a stamping simulation.
