Parallel processing in Abaqus

In Abaqus, parallel processing can be utilized to execute complex and large-scale models efficiently. Parallel processing enables users to solve their models faster and with greater computational efficiency. Below is a brief overview of the steps to perform parallel processing in Abaqus:

1. Enable Parallel Processing

First, parallel processing must be enabled in the Abaqus settings. To do this, go to the “Tools” menu, select “Options”, and activate the “Use parallel” option under the “Job” section.

2. Configure Parallel Processing Settings

After enabling parallel processing, you need to configure the related settings. This includes specifying the number of processors, network communication type, speed, and other relevant parameters.

3. Run the Model

Once the parallel processing settings are configured, you can execute your models. Abaqus will automatically distribute the analysis across the available processors in parallel and generate results concurrently.

4. Analyze Results

After the model execution, you can review and analyze the results. Abaqus automatically produces results in parallel, which significantly reduces the time required for analysis and provides optimal outcomes.

Benefits of Parallel Processing in Abaqus

Using parallel processing allows you to:

• Significantly reduce the time required to run complex models.
• Maximize the utilization of computational resources.

By leveraging this capability, you can handle large-scale simulations more effectively and improve the overall performance of your modeling tasks.
