Abstract

GPUs no longer only support graphical applications and gaming. These are becoming cheap and powerful tools for scientific and general-purpose computations. They provide a massively parallel environment with the support of a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) programming model. Making finite element calculations is also a time-consuming process in some cases due to many elements or a large degree of freedom. The FEM simulation is essential to check the analytical or measured mechanical stresses, deformations, etc. In making structural optimisation, one needs several iterations and combining the optimisation with FEM, increasing the calculation time. GPU programming is a good solution for this. In the article, we show the applicability of the combination of GPU, optimisation, and FEM simulation.
