Abstract
A geometrically non-linear global/local technique was developed and te sted. This technique uses separate global and local finite-element mod els. Iteration is used to enforce equilibrium between the global and l ocal models. The results of this initial study suggest that the techni que can be used to reduce both computer memory and CPU requirements.
