Abstract
The automated multilevel sub-structuring (AMLS) method [2, 7, 3] is an extension of a simple sub-structuring method called component mode synthesis (CMS) [6, 4] originally developed in the 1960s. The recent work by Bennighof and Lehoucq [3] provides a high level mathematical description of the AMLS method in a continuous variational setting, as well as a framework for describing AMLS in matrix algebra notations. The AMLS approach has been successfully used in vibration and acoustic analysis of very large scale finite element models of automobile bodies [7]. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of AMLS on other types of applications.
