Modern high-performance computing systems allow us to explore and implement new technologies and mathematical modeling algorithms into industrial software systems of engineering analysis. For a long time the finite element method (FEM) was considered as the basic approach to mathematical simulation of elasticity theory problems; it provided the problems solution within an engineering error. However, modern high-tech equipment allows us to implement design solutions with a high enough accuracy, which requires more sophisticated approaches within the mathematical simulation of elasticity problems in industrial packages of engineering analysis. One of such approaches is the spectral element method (SEM). The implementation of SEM in a CAE system for the solution of elasticity problems is considered. An important feature of the proposed variant of SEM implementation is a support of hybrid curvilinear meshes. The main advantages of SEM over the FEM are discussed. The shape functions for different classes of spectral elements are written. Some results of computations are given for model problems that have analytical solutions. The results show the better accuracy of SEM in comparison with FEM for the same meshes.

The explicit time-domain spectral-element method (SEM) for synthesizing seismograms hasgained tremendous credibility within the seismological community at all scales. Althoughthe recent introduction of non-periodic homogenization has addressed the spatial meshing difficulty of the mechanical discontinuities, the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) stability criterionstrictly constrains the maximum time step, which still puts a great burden on the numericalsimulation. In the explicit time-domain SEM, the source of instability of using a time stepbeyond the stability criterion is that some unstable eigenvalues of the updated matrix are largerthan what can be accurately simulated. We succeed in removing the CFL stability condition inthe explicit time-domain SEM by combining the forward time dispersion-transform method,the eigenvalue perturbation, and the inverse time dispersion-transform method. Our theoretical analyses and numerical experiments both in the homogeneous, moderate and strong heterogeneous models, show that this combination can precisely simulate waveforms with timesteps dozens of the CFL limit even towards the Nyquist limit especially for the efficient veryhigh degree SEM, which abundantly saves the iteration times without suffering from the time-dispersion error. It demonstrates a potential application prospect in some situations such as thefull waveform inversion which requires multiple numerical simulations for the same model.
