If the design model is too large, it can be convenient to organize a recursive analysis by partitioning the entire system into subsystems—super-elements (SE). This approach works well when the subdivision is natural: for example, a building composed of volumetric blocks (each volumetric block is a super-element) or ...


The construction of finite element meshes is an important stage of solving the problem of determining the SSS of structures. This stage is associated with satisfaction of a number of contradictory requirements.
