Hello everyone,

I would like to know why isn´t solidThinking Inspire 2018 using all the CPU cores that I have configured in the program. Whicherver value I put in, it always uses exclusevely 1 core for the whole optimization. It is really slowing down my work so I would really appreciate some help there.

Thank you very much,

Luigi Piccoli

    Hi Luigi,

    Please zip and share a scratch directory with us - so we can find out what's going wrong on your PC. Inspire is running optistruct (core) easiliy on dozens of cores simultaneously.

    Dear Luigi,

    Go to file->preferences->Run option-> and select the amount of CPU cores for the optimization.
    I hope this will decrease your run time.
