Does HyperWorks can choose number of core for generating mesh like SimLab?

Hi experts,

 

I'm generating direct midmesh in HyperWorks.

It's a complex part, and take nearly 1 hour to finish.

 

I'm wondering that we can select the number of core in HyperWorks for faster meshing

Many thanks!

    Hi James,

    From the 2D side, midmesh and rebuild have portions of their code as multi-threaded.  It is not user controlled, but happens automatically.

    Some tools, such as adaptive tria remeshing, boundary layer and tetra mesher are multi-threaded and uses all available threads by default. Following environment variable will enable user to define no of threads to use. (0.5 means use 50% threads).

    M_HW_MT_LOAD=0.5

     

    From a BatchMesh perspective, if you submit parts through Part Browser, each part will run on a different CPU. Also, there is the possibility to change the no of threads directly in the panel.

    Hi Rafael,

    Where is this ribbon that the batch button (pictured) is in? I haven't seen it in HyperWorks.

    Thanks,

    Hi @Christian Free ,

     

    I think the ribbon for the picture above is from HyperWorks CFD, not in HyperWorks.
