The scaled boundary finite element method is known for its capability in reproducing highly-detailed solution fields over large subdomains, and also for its flexibility in terms of spatial discretization, enabling us to define subdomains with arbitrary numbers of boundary elements and hanging nodes. The former, however, is not readily attainable in the cases whose closed-form solution does not exist. Those cases invoke the use of a cascade of expensive computations for the recovery of inner-subdomain solution fields, leaving one of the main assets of the method almost unused. As a remedy, we propose a new solution scheme by which the interior fields of subdomains can be easily recovered so that the full potential of the scaled boundary finite element method can be harvested. No auxiliary variables are introduced to the global algebraic system and the dimensions of the matrices remain constant. Most of the computations are carried out prior to the global algebraic system assembly, and in a completely decoupled manner on the element level, rendering the introduced method to be embarrassingly parallelizable. The inner-subdomain information is not required for the solution process and it can be computed locally for the selected regions and subdomains, also using parallel computing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
