Abstract

This paper describes Grid4Build, a high performance Grid approach that enables to perform 3D linear analysis and visualisation of building structures. The system involves three independent components: a GUI Client, a Structural Analysis Grid Service and an HPC-based structural simulator. The GUI Client is in charge to assist the user in the pre-processing and post-processing stages. The HPC-based application is a simulator that performs the 3D linear static and dynamic analysis of building structures. Finally, the Grid Service is an on-line middle- ware application that exposes the functionality of the Structural Simu- lator through Internet. The user's structural simulations are distributed through the available computational resources of a Grid Computing- based infrastructure thanks to GMarte metascheduler.
