Abstract
This work discusses the subregions technique and presents a boundary element formulation with vector generation of the system of equations.

The procedure only requires storage for non-zero matrix coefficients plus the possibly non-zero ones which appear when a maximum pivot selection is activated during a Gauss elimination routine. The technique produces great savings in computer run time and is implemented in a 3-D modular elasticity code with quadrilateral and triangular elements, continuous and discontinuous, constant, linear and quadratic.
