cluster computing for mechanical structural FEM models

[Jim Lux]

I'm looking for references to work on distributed computing for structural 
models like trusses and spaceframes.  They are typically sparse/diagonalish 
matrices that represent the masses and springs, so distributing the work in 
a cluster seems a natural fit.

Anybody done anything like this (as a demonstration, e.g.) say, using 
NASTRAN inputs?
