- Finite element analysis is a fundamental tool in engineering, particularly in manufacturing, but it can be very intensive computationally. This research is significant because it presents an efficient parallel algorithm for mapping different meshes used in the simulation of a chain of manufacturing processes. This algorithm has been implemented in the open-source software FEDES (https://sourceforge.net/projects/fedes), which has been successfully used by the Manufacturing Technology Centre (contact: Adam Holloway, Senior Research Engineer, Adam.Holloway@the-mtc.org) for the additive manufacturing of, e.g., turbine blades and impellers. FEDES was recently adopted in the £14m DRAMA project (http://ncam.the-mtc.org/drama/overview).
