Abstract

This paper describes a Grid Computing application for the 3D dynamic analysis of large dimension buildings. A previously developed software composed of parallel implementations of eight direct integration methods has been integrated on this application, in order to perform structural simulations on a Grid deployment. The GMarte software abstraction layer has been employed to couple the parallel simulator with the Grid infrastructure. Performing distributed executions has enabled a considerable reduction in the global execution time of structural dynamic studies composed of different design alternatives.
