The goal of this work is the development of a numerical methodology for flexible and low-cost computation and/or design of complex structures that might have been obtained by a multialteration of a sound simple structure. The multimodel Arlequin framework is herein used to meet the flexibility and low-costs requirements. A preconditioned FETI-like solver is adapted to the solution of the discrete mixed Arlequin problems obtained by using the Finite Element Method. Enlightening numerical results are given.
