Notes:
This paper presents an automated, adaptive finite element modelling system based on the hp-version of the finite element method. Error estimation and correction indication procedures with an automatic mesh generator and a p-version analysis code are combined to provide a computationally efficient modelling environment. Error prediction techniques are employed to find the best combination of finite element discretization, h-, and overall polynomial order, p-, needed to achieve the prescribed level of accuracy. The automated adaptive modelling results demonstrate the capability of the modelling system of predicting discretizations to perform a p-version finite element analysis to achieve prescribed levels of accuracy in the most efficient manner.
