I was doing a 3DEC simulation with small-size voronoi elements. But it takes very long time for it to simulation. The model is not very big around 20 cm x 40 cm. I want to run faster simulations using grain size elements. Is there any way to increase the CPU usage in 3DEC? I tried the Configuration main array size and made it 30 GB but still no change in simulation speed. Can anyone say how to increase simulation speed manually or internally? My CPU details are in the picture below. Thank you.
Please send the question and data file to 3decsupport@itascacg.com

There is no easy way to speed this up. You can try reducing the frequency of some of the calculations. See the block update command. Note also that you can run two instances at once on one computer.
