Model Decomposition In OpenSEES parallel

[saprasad]

Hi All,

Is it possible to decompose a very large model in opensees such that different part of the models are analyzed by different cores on a computer and then get the overall result for the entire model ?

For example if I have a model with 5000 nodes, 1-2500 are analyzed by core 0, 2501 - 5000 by core 1 (when using 2 cores on a computer) and then finally get the result for the entire model. If so any example to start with would be very helpful.

Thanks.

Hi saprasad,

Yes, it is possible. You need to use OpenSeesMP as explained here:

Hope it helps.
