To test the methodology, algorithms were developed for projects in the electronic packaging industry. Multiple designs were analyzed for each of these cases. These experiences highlighted areas where the MRA needs extensions to reduce algorithm development time and broaden algorithm applicability. However, results show that the present VTMB methodology can produce algorithms that reduce FEA model creation time by a factor of 10 or more. Test cases also demonstrate methodology applicability to a diversity of problems.
Discussion is included regarding more precise definitions of finite element model complexity.
