10.1 Parallelization of constraints in Abaqus/Explicit

Product: Abaqus/Explicit  

Benefits: The resolution of constraints in domain parallel executions is improved, particularly for overconstrained systems.

Description: A new algorithm has been implemented in Abaqus/Explicit to solve constraints during domain parallel execution. The new algorithm is aimed at improving the robustness of the constraint solution procedure in domain parallel mode. In particular, implicit constraint systems such as connectors that are on the domain boundaries are solved such that there is no divergence in solution of neighboring domains over a large number of increments.
