  • Description: If the fast multipole method (FMM) is applied in the context of the boundary element method, the efficiency and accuracy of the FMM is significantly influenced by the used hierarchical grouping scheme. Hence, in this paper, a new approach to the grouping scheme is presented to solve numerical examples with problem‐oriented meshes and higher order elements accurately and efficiently. Furthermore, with the proposed meshing strategies the efficiency of the FMM can be additionally controlled.
