| Abstract | Starting out as a small research project within Ford Motor Company in 1987, FCRASH has grown into a fast and viable transient dynamic analysis finite element program for vehicle crash simulation. Most com- mercially available finite element crash analysis packages evolved from an impact simulation code, DYNA-3D , originally written at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories. FCRASH , however, was written from scratch to provide a more structured program capable of greater computational efficiency and ease of maintenance. Part of FCRASH 's success was the result of a close collaboration between Ford Motor Company engineers and con- sultants from Cray Research. Our paper will focus on this collaborative effort, and will discuss the combination and trade-offs of vector and parallel optimization techniques that enable FCRASH to be the fastest vehicle struc- tures crash simulation program within Ford. |
