Partial Refactorization in Sparse Matrix Solution: A New Possibility for Faster Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis

This paper proposes a partial refactorization for faster nonlinear analysis based on sparse matrix solution, which is nowadays the default solution choice in finite element analysis and can solve finite element models up to millions degrees of freedom. Among various fill-in’s reducing strategies for...
