Parallel computation for Specialist Durability

You can distribute the computational tasks for Specialist Durability over multiple cores on one machine. You can solve a model with distributed parallel computation from Simcenter 3D or from a command line.

Use the Computation Decomposition solver parameter to split computation tasks into task blocks. You define the target number of blocks and the minimum number of locations per task block. The solver distributes the tasks by determining the number of tasks per block.

Use the Computation Setup solver parameter to define the host machine and the number of cores that perform the computational tasks and the data transfer directory to which the input data file is written. You can also use this solver parameter to define a host machine that performs the computation without dividing it into parallel computational blocks. For example, you can perform pre-processing and post-processing tasks using a general-purpose computer, and run the solve on a high-performance computer.
