Abstract
A compact pre- and post-processor that runs on PC has been developed for the purpose of remote CAE. This includes a linear-finite-element-analysis module for on-site analysis of simple and midium-sized structural problems and an interfacing module for remote analysis of more complex cases such as nonlinear and large-scale linear problems which are cpu-consuming to solve. The software was designed to provide convenient interfacing capability for the use of client-server-type analysis. In this paper, the interface module was specially designed to use ABAQUS on the supercomputer. As a benchmark for the remote CAE, a sheet-forming simulation was perfomed on a PC networked with the supercomputer.
