Abstract

The numerical performances of the finite element schemes discussed in the previous chapters are presented. The results obtained are compared to the ones of the QUAD 4 element of MacNeal. Additionnally the solution methods are evaluated, and the vector and parallel optimization has been used in order to deliver the best computational time.
