“…The ACME package 4 has been developed as a tool to determine surface contact conditions between general surfaces in three dimensions. These surfaces can take the form of boundaries of finite element discretizations, as in our case, or they can be analytic surfaces.…”

Salinas provides a massively parallel implementation of structural dynamics finite element analysis, required for high fidelity, validated models used in modal, vibration, static and shock analysis of structural systems. This manual describes the theory behind many of the constructs in Salinas. For a more detailed description of how to use Salinas , we refer the reader to Salinas, User's Notes.Many of the constructs in Salinas are pulled directly from published material. Where possible, these materials are referenced herein. However, certain functions in Salinas are specific to our implementation. We try to be far more complete in those areas.The theory manual was developed from several sources including general notes, a programmer notes manual, the user's notes and of course the material in the open literature.3 4

“…Zoltan also includes distributed data directories, dynamic memory debugging tools, and unstructured communication services that enable applications to perform complicated communication using only a few simple primitives. Zoltan is used in a variety of applications, including contact detection and crash simulations [19], [20], adaptive finite element methods [1], [21], [22], parallel circuit simulations [23], multiphysics simulations [24], and linear solvers and preconditioners [11], [12].…”

Abstract-As the need for complex parallel simulation software grows, better strategies for efficient and effective software development become important. We advocate a toolkit -or "tinkertoy" -approach to parallel application development. By providing efficient implementations of basic services commonly needed by applications, toolkits allow application developers to benefit from others' research, compare algorithms, and save time for their own development. Unlike large frameworks, toolkits provide these services with light-weight interfaces and little or no restriction on application data structures, making them easy to use in both new and existing applications. In this paper, we describe features of effective toolkit design, using the Zoltan parallel, dynamic data management toolkit as an example.

“…The majority of the time required to produce a complete three-dimensional mesh goes into assuring that the nodes of the three-dimensional sub-meshes match up at the connecting surfaces. Discontinuous mesh can be handled with the contact library [5] used in alegra. The user must ensure that where contact is to be used, there are separate, unique nodes belonging to each side of the interface and that these nodes have not been merged in some fashion.…”

ALEGRA is an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian multi-material finite element code used for modeling solid dynamics problems involving large distortion and shock propagation. This document describes the basic user input language and instructions for using the software. 3 AcknowledgmentMany individuals have contributed to alegra development over many years. George Allshouse (deceased),who made important contributions to the early planning of the alegra project and facilitated its beginning. Mike McGlaun launched the code development effort and Keith Matzen and Tim Trucano also contributed to early planning activities for the project.Below we give major contributors to the alegra code and attempt to list some specific areas of the current active code base to which they have contributed. Many of these contributers will have made significant contributions to the text of this manual. The authors of this document represent current developers actively backing this release. Ray
