Abstract
The objective of the work is twofold. First is it the transformation o f the FORTRAN finite element code into C language and comparison of th e efficiency of these two programs. The program was developed for the axisymmetrical forging process and it couples the rigid-plastic flow f ormulation with the finite-clement solution of the Fourier equation. S econd objective is an attempt of the parallel implementation on networ ked workstations.
