Automatic construction of 3-D models in multiple scale analysis (Q1910955)

This paper discusses techniques for the automatic construction of numerical analysis models for multiple scale analyses which employ interacting models at two, or more, physical scales. Consideration is given to the methods to define the geometric representations and generate the discretizations needed by the numerical analysis procedures. The application of the techniques to multichip modules and composite structures, with interacting macromechanical and micromechanical level analyses, is demonstrated.
