Principle of the test
================

This test validates the (computer) parallelism of elementary calculations and assemblies. The advantage of this test is to run in a **parallel MPI** version ** (on 4 processors for example). This test validates programming MPI but does not prove anything about performance.

It tests **all** keyword combinations:


* AFFE_MODELE/DISTRIBUTION/METHODE =


*/'CENTRALISE'


*/'GROUP_ELEM'


*/'MAIL_CONTIGU'


*/'MAIL_DISPERSE'


    *
        */'SOUS_DOMAINE'


* MATR_DISTRIBUE = 'OUI'/'NON'


* ELIM_LAGR2 = 'OUI'/'NON'


* Kinematic conditions:


*/dualized (AFFE_CHAR_MECA)


*/eliminated (AFFE_CHAR_CINE)


*/"straddling" multiple processors

It also tests the possibilities of "modifying" the partitioning before executing post-processing (command MODI_MODELE).
