Une génération interactive des données pour appliquer la méthode des éléments finis
The advent of new and powerful computers, during the last few years, has resulted in a widespread application of numerical models to solve engineering problems. At the present time, one of the popular numerical techniques utilised by engineers is the finite element method.In order to generate and organize in an efficient manner the complex data structure resulting from its application a new modular approach has been developed. This approach is particularly suited to the treatment of heterogeneous domains often encountered in engineering practice.A modified version of the "Multigrid" technique is used to solve the Thompson elliptic equations in order to generate a 2-D finite element grid. A graphical interactive computation system is used and we can consider implementing the programs in a micro- or mini-computer. Key words: computer-aided design, finite element grid generator.
