3.5 Matrix input with distributed memory parallel execution

Product: Abaqus/Standard  

Benefits: Matrix input can now be used with distributed memory parallel execution.

Description: Previously, the use of matrix input would prohibit distributed memory parallel execution of the solver and element loop. This restriction has been removed. The matrix input portion of the analysis is handled by the root process, while the element loop and solver are distributed.
