Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 營建工程系 === 94 === This paper presents a new Internet-based finite-element analysis framework, named Web-FEM, which allows users to access finite-element analysis service at remote sites over the Internet by using an Internet-connected machine only. The implementation utilizes modern computer graphics, parallel processing, and information technology to provide features such as platform-independence, 3D graphical interface, system performance, multiple-user management, and fault tolerance in comparison with other Internet-based analytical systems. These features make its usage like using a traditional finite element package installed and run on a local machine, and its performance like using a high performance computing facility. The system architecture consists of three components. The only component on the client computer is a Java program, which handles the presenting of data and interacting with the user. One component on the server machine is a parallel C++ program, which handles core computation. Another component on the server machine is a Java program, which coordinates the previous two components over the Internet to integrate them to work as a single system. The object model design and the implementation of this three-tier system are presented in detail.
