substructuring
Substructuring is a technique used in various fields, most notably in engineering and computer science, to break down a complex system into smaller, more manageable, and often self-contained components or modules. This approach facilitates design, analysis, and implementation by allowing different parts of the system to be developed, tested, and understood independently. In essence, substructuring creates a hierarchical organization where a larger whole is composed of interconnected sub-wholes.
In structural analysis, substructuring is a numerical method where a large finite element model is divided
In software engineering, substructuring is closely related to modular design and component-based development. Systems are divided
