    Abstract The introduction of computed x-ray tomography allows for the construction of high quality, material-per-element based 3D meshes in the field of structural mechanics. The use of these meshes enables a shift from meso to micro scale analysis of composite materials like cement concrete, rocks and asphalt concrete. Unfortunately, because of the extremely long execution time, memory and storage space demands, the majority of commercially available finite element packages are not capable of handling efficiently the most computationally demanding operation of the finite element solution process, that is, the inversion of the structural stiffness matrix.
