Research of Finite Element Analysis Software Performance Relation to the type of Operating System

摘要

Finite element method is widely used to analyze, simulate, optimize and design of electronic devices and their systems. Lots of modern CAD, CAM, CAE programs are based on this method. Fig. 1 summarizes the process of finite element analysis. Although numerical application of finite element method is easy and straightforward and it produces accurate results, several problems have been identified, e.g. when modeling electronic devices or systems of complex structure. The following important problems should be noted: long computation time and large amount of memory required to store intermediate computational data.
