Increase resource allocation for faster preprocessing

Hello,

 

I'm creating/editing domains and morphing big 3D models (large domain morphing) in Hypermesh 14. These actions take significantly long time (couple minutes) as hypermesh performs each morph or resolves domains after editing them. Neither CPU nor RAM are heavily loaded (10% load at max). I have plenty disk space and my GPU drivers are up to date. Upgrade of hypermesh version is not an option. Is there a way to let hypermesh preprocessor use additional resources (cpu/ram) to speed it up?

 

I've searched these forums and all I could find was resource allocation for solvers or recommentations to update drives.

 

Thanks,

Piotr

    'couple minutes' is NOT long time. But 'couple hours' maybe.

    Could you share more about your hardware? CPU intel? AMD? i5?i7? GHz? RAM? memory freq? GPU?

    Hi

    Try opening Task Manager and set priority for process hmopengl.exe as 'realtime'

    The system information I can provide is:

    OS Win7 Prof 64bit

    CPU Intel Xeon E5-2620 v2 @2.4GHz (12cpu total)

    RAM 64GM

    Graphics NVIDIA Quatro K2200

     

    Setting task manager priority changes nothing.

     

    Couple of minutes (i.e. 5 minutes) accumulates to long time. Every time I delete handles, combine domains, create a new domain this happens. I spend more time in between morphing than actually doing it. Regardless, the program evidently doesn't use resources available to it, so I'd like to make it, in order to cut that time back.

    Nice box :)/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />

    But I don't think Hypermesh's interactive session can use more than 1 cpu.

    Your CPU is good for a server, but not really cool for a workstation. So if you wan accelerate your work, try another CPU with freq >= 3.5GHz

    Ok. Thanks for your reply.
