Through this R&D effort, we will come up with a system that can perform "whole-machine analysis" for large-scale assembly structures built from multiple components. This structural analysis system will be operable on PC clusters and inmassively parallel computing environments such as next-generation supercomputers. To develop a structural analysis system that contributes to creating innovations, we will expand and enhance the advanced analytical functions, such as nonlinear analysis and contact analysis, as well as "whole-machine analysis," of FrontSTR, which was previously developed under the Revolutionary Simulation Software Project.
By using hierarchical mesh data and hierarchical algorithms, this system will enable analysis on a scale of up to 10 billion DOF, something that is not possible with current structural analysis systems. This will be a next-generation analysis system that can maximize the sophistication and performance of massively parallel computers. Furthermore, through collaboration with those workingonthe sub-project "Large Scale Assembly, Structural Correspondence, Multi Dynamics Simulator," we will be able to carry out high-precision and high-speed simulation of product prototype model validation during the early stage of the design process, thereby promoting innovation and greatly improving the design process.
