Simulation Time Comparison in 3DEC 7 and 3DEC 9

3DEC
1

Hello,

I ran two similar models in 3DEC 7 (158) and 3DEC 9 (166) with the same memory allocation (see the attached image). The overall behavior (i.e., stress-strain curve and failure pattern) looks similar. But the time taken in 3DEC 7 was half the 3DEC 9. Do we need to change other settings to reduce the simulation time 3DEC 9?

Thanks

Please send your model to 3decsupport@itascacg.com and I’ll look at it.

OK - this problem is now fixed. The next version 9 update will go as fast or faster than version 7.
