The Parallel Sparse Solver is
an equation solver for sparsely populated equation systems.
It can be used for all applications relating to statics and dynamics
as well as the analysis of stability problems.
Using the Parallel Sparse Solver provides the following
advantages over the standard equation solver:
- Minimization of the amount of required memory space needed
and the number of required computing operations
- Significant speed advantage when solving the equation system
- Exploitation of multiprocessor technology through parallel
computing
To help demonstrate these enormous advantages, the system shown
below will be calculated with the standard equation solver and the
Parallel Sparse Solver.

The difference in the amount of memory space needed
and in the calculation time is readily evident.
The advantages of the
Parallel Sparse Solver are even more obvious
if the system increases in terms of complexity or
dynamic calculations are performed. |
