Abstract

The implementation of a parallel simulation procedure for cable and membrane structures is presented.The procedure includes contact detection and enforcement.Tw o different domain decompositions are simultanously used.F or the simulation a static partitioning is computed; for the contact detection a dynamically updated parallel RCB decomposition is used.An overview is also given of the strategy for the detailed geometric contact detection procedures.An example of a falling cloth is included to demonstrate.
