At present, in order to carry out computer simulations of complex large-scale problems, parallel computers are necessary to store huge amounts of data and to solve such problems in a given practical time. The finite element method (FEM) has been widely applied in various fields of engineering science, but considerable time and labor are needed to prepare the mesh data of complex large-scale model, especially for parallel computations. In order to satisfy these demands, we developed a Parallel Mesh Relocator (PMR), which combined the functions of partitioning and refining of a given finite element mesh. In this paper, we report algorithms implemented in the developed PMR software and verify them by applying PMR to several models.
