Parallel solution (multi-threaded) technology is implemented as an option in the process settings for 3D Flow (Coupled 3D solver only) analysis to improve solution speed.
It allows major computational tasks to be computed simultaneously by a team of threads on a processor or many processors when running an analysis. Parallel solution is set to Automatic by default.
Supported systems
The parallel solution method is available on all supported Windows operating systems, for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
It is supported for shared memory multi-processor (SMP) systems, also known as multiple core systems. In SMP systems, all physical processors (cores) are in the same computer and access the full system memory, so data sharing is fast.
Enabling the parallel solution
and then click Next if necessary until you are on the Fill+Pack Settings page. Click Advanced options, and in the Solver Parameters section, click Edit. On the Fill+Pack Analysis tab, click Solver parameters. Parallel solution options are available in the Number of threads for parallelization section. To check if you are using Coupled 3D solver
By default, the solver is set to Coupled 3D solver. To check the solver setup, click and then click Next if necessary until you are on the Fill+Pack Settings page. Click Advanced options, and in the Solver Parameters section, click Edit. Check the setting in the Solver setup section on the Fill+Pack Analysis tab.
