There are a series of sf meshes: sf10, sf5 and sf2 to test these parameters.
These tests have been done on owl,
Tourney(8400),
paragon,
and
Cray T3D, respectively.
Initial results from simulation for a massive mesh sf1 are shown.
Initial analysis on results from simulation:
(1) Time histories of some nodes on the surface
(2) Transfer functions of the same nodes on the surface
