Reduction of Computation Time by Parallelization and Incorporating Co-Simulation Techniques

The co-simulation methods considered here are based on the idea of splitting an overall model into different subsystems; the subsystems are then simulated as a coupled problem. Such an approach can be used advantageously for analyzing complex problems, for example the simulation of systems including different physical disciplines so that different specialized solvers have to be coupled in time domain. Another possible application of co-simulation methods, which is discussed here, concerns the parallelization of a monodisciplinary model
