Tips and tricks!?
Posted: 12 May 2023, 22:04
Hello again,
I hope you don't mind me posting a new topic.
In the past, when I was using my old software on win7 and I had different tricks to boost the simulation or reduce the unnecessary task of the windows.
Now, I wonder if you have the same process?
If you are using windows, (preferably win 10),
What do you do with heavy simulations?
Do you kill any service or process ? (in win 7, I would kill almost every extra service, even the main explore.exe, and I would set the priority of my simulation/solver/software to high). How about win 10? (Im new with it)
how about the internal setting of Elmer? is there a way to boost the speed, or even opposite, to reduce the pressure/speed, to prevent it from crashing?
My laptop has multiple cores, and its RAM and graphic is not bad, but a friend of mine which is using the same laptop, but lower model (cpu,ram...) has no problem with his simulations with ansys, I think he is effectively using more cores in his simulations.
I saw a parallel simulation option; but to be frank, I just hoped to work with it without reading about it first and I failed![Crying or Very Sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
Also, about the solver detail, not only the type, but even the subcategory of the solver: CG. SCG, BIGCGstabl ...
I don't dare to ask for guidance about them, since I know they are a complex world by themselves. But generally speaking, how effective they are in convergence and simulation speed; is there a prefered stup, for slowing down or speeding up the simulation ?
Wish you sunshiny days,
