Hybrid Version, a convergence of parallel methods
Value proposition
Combine the benefit of both RADIOSS parallel versions inside a unique code with
enhanced performance
Customer Benefits
Increase scalability & performance by having 2 parallelization levels
Domain decomposition + MPI processes

Multi-threaded MPI processes under Open MP
Flexibility : adapt to customers needs & hardware resources and their evolution
Cost reduction : only one executable to manage (maintenance)
Quality : full convergence of SMP & SPMD (numerical results)
Implementation Challenges
Keep ease of use of SMP
Keep ease of debugging of SPMD (deterministic behavior)
Do not make more complex the code maintenance

Submodeling
Multi Domain
Submodeling
Method
The target of this approach is to study one area of the model with taking into account the
deformation of the full model through a section force.
In the defined section, displacement will be imposed in order to represent the "sub" part
of the model.

Section force
From the full model, a section force is created

on the boundary of the selected area.

Sub-model
RADIOSS
This section force, with specific parameters, is
added in the full model.
The sub-model is created with all entities which
are inside the boundary and the section force.

Section force
The sub-model can be computed using the

Full model
In the time history files (<rootname> T01 file),

forces balances are computed with the force
imported force the <rootname>SC01 file and
the force computed in the sub-model.
The force differences are usually very small. In
the other case, it means the section force is not
correctly defined and do not take into account
all crash evens.

Example
The NEON full car crash model is cut on the middle of the front door in order to study
the front part of the car.
This task is done using HyperCrash. The user defined the area he ants to keep and
HyperCrash defines automatically the section force, proposes to save the full model
with the section and the sub-model with the same section and the right parameters.
Submodeling
Example
Full model section
The section defined for the full model contains all the entities cut defined by group of nodes, bricks,
shells, trusses, beams, springs and Interface ID.
The time frequency (around10 times the minimum time step of model) and the data to store in the
<rootname>SC01 file is also set in the section.
Isave = 1 : save only displacement
Isave = 2 : save displacement and force

Abstract
The basic idea is to replace the global model by physically equivalent sub
domains, part separation will be based on the different time steps => significant
reduction of the CPU time.
The force and momentum transfers between them being calculated by a separate
program assuring stability constraints.
