Table 6.

Iteration numbers (it.) per Newton step and computational time (in s) per Newton step for the all-floating and the classical FETI approach with quadratic ansatz functions comparing the three considered preconditioners. The penalty parameter κ was varied from 10 to 1000 kPa. Mesh: mesh of the aorta subdivided in 480 subdomains, computed with 480 cores.
