Software Complex for Modelling Problems of Continuum Mechanics with the Help of Modern Multiprocessor Systems
This work presents a program complex for solving problems arising in continuum mechanics. The complex contains the tools allowing the user to solve a specific problem from the beginning (design of computational domain, formulation of boundary conditions) up to the end (viewing end results). These tools are focused on using modern multiprocessor systems. The complex comprises 4 basic components: geometry editor, grid generator, a visual analyzer of result and a shell which unites 3 remaining components in a uniform interface and controls data transfer between each other and the multiprocessor system. The user directly cooperates only with the shell, i.e. the user does not need to know how the components interoperate and operate with the computing system. The solution of any problem consists of 4 basic stages: design of computational domain, formulation of boundary conditions in the editor, creation of a suitable grid with the help of the grid generator, start-up of calculation on a computing cluster, viewing of results in the built-in visual analyzer. All these stages can be prformed with the help of the shell.
