<div>Yes..</div>
<div>Like the example in Dan McCracken's FORTRAN textbook. A 2D plate with a square hole in the middle and different boundary conditions on the edges.</div>

</span></div>
<div>Simple algorithm, so the person doesn't get wound up in the details of the FEM calculation. Lots of potential ways to partition the problem (different geometric chunks, for instance). But easy to make computationally big.</div>

<p>Jim - how about heat transport?<br>
Simple model of a cold flat plate heated to a constant N degrees at one point or edge.<br>
You split into square cells and solve heat transport equation in each cell.<br>
Temperature plot vs time makes nice movie.<br>
You add more MPI processes and the model runs faster or you can have more cells per fixed solve time.</p>
