Hi everyone；
I wonder there s some way to accelerate the computational speed.The computer work station has worked for one night,while the model process is 1%,It is too slow. Multiple nuclear acceleration is set up.
I really appreciate your help!
Thank you,
zhizhuo

Hi,

It depends on a lot of factors like the kind of hardware you're using, do you output results at all time steps, writing them on a ssd or hhd, are you solving in core or out of core, nb of processors, etc...

One thing that you can check is the nb of cores that you request, by default it's 2. You can change that either in Workbench, > tools > options > solution process > Default number of processors, and also under the Mechanical APDL tab > analysis > processors. Or directly in Mechanical > tools > solve process settings > advanced > max number of utilized cores.
Have fun

BTW, just be careful where you post the thread, this should not be in the meshing forum

Thank you very much for your suggestion and sorry for the mistake.you are so kind. I will pay attention to it next time.What you said setting nb of cores,I have set six .Maybe there are some other problem.

You should also look at the solver file output > Solution branch > solution information > solver output. You'll find a lot of useful information there.

Thanks again，I will check it later

Go through Explicit tutorial course from the Customer portal.

Your timestep is very small. You can increase your timestep by for example using mass scaling.

Another possibility is using a more coarse mesh to get preliminary results. Once that works start refining the mesh. It is difficult to advise on this without knowing your mesh size or your geometry though. Mesh convergence needs to be established starting from the coarser mesh not the other way around.

Could also check whether your employer or university provides you with access to a supercomputer.

I donnot know how to increase the time step.could you tell me more details about the mass scaling.I am very appreciate your help.

I appreciate your suggestion and cannot agree more.It's been mentioned to conduct the mesh converge.but maybe it is a little difficult to me now, is there alternative for me

As LK suggested I would also recommend that you go through the Explicit tutorials that you can find on the customer portal.

You can also have a look at Ansys Meshing classes to help you getting started

good idea

As mentioned above this is an explicit dynamics issue and not a mesh generation issue, but it is caused due to the smallest mesh size, see Progressive Collapse of the structure with Ansys Autodyn.

Run your model for a few timesteps , e.g. 20 and locate the smallest timestep using a User Result, then you can proceed in fixing this. Apply mass scaling (you may be part and element scaling as well) or remake the mesh avoiding the small element size.

Thank you .I have a lot to learn ......
