Nonlinear real-time finite element analysis using CUDA

A talk at GTC2013, including the .pdfThis talk will demonstrate an implementation of the Total Lagrangian Explicit Dynamic finite element formulation in CUDA. As this method was originally developed for very soft tissues, it is in full compliance to geometric, material and loading nonlinearities and achieves significant speedups over industry-proven solutions while retaining accuracy. Intricacies of parallel TLED implementation and comparisons to conventional FE codes are provided as well as a short introduction into the background of this numerical tool. Learn the details and benefits of mathematically reformulating an FE problem towards parallelization and subsequently implementing/optimizing the algorithm in CUDA. - See more at: http://on-demand-gtc.gputechconf.com/gtcnew/on-demand-gtc.php?searchByKeyword=strbac&searchItems=&sessionTopic=&sessionEvent=&sessionYear=&sessionFormat=&submit=&select=#sthash.WaPJ8iEL.dpufstatus: publishe
