3.2 Thread parallel element and contact search calculations for implicit dynamic analyses

Product: Abaqus/Standard  

Benefits: Thread-parallel execution of additional calculations provides improved performance for many dynamic analyses.

Description: Dynamic analyses with moderate dissipation and quasi-static application settings now execute element and contact search calculations with thread-based parallelization among processors of a compute node, which is similar to the existing behavior for static and other procedure types. In previous Abaqus releases these calculations were performed on only one processor per compute node for the implicit general dynamic procedure.
