Simulation Using the Iterative Solver Technology in Abaqus

This document describes best practices for a new, state-of-the-art iterative linear equation solver in Abaqus/Standard and the 3DEXPERIENCE structural simulation apps. 

This document describes best practices for a new, state-of-the-art iterative linear equation solver in Abaqus/Standard and the 3DEXPERIENCE structural simulation apps.

The new solution capability is based on an original, unpublished proprietary algorithm developed for reliability and efficiency. A scalable parallel implementation results in a very fast, low memory consumption solver well suited for very large models.

Together with the high performance modeling, meshing, and visualization capabilities of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, this technology empowers structural and mechanical analysts with a new tool to handle large, real-world simulation models with over 100 million degrees of freedom.

The iterative solver is best suited to models with certain characteristics. This Best Practices document provides usage guidelines and strategies to help you best use this technology.

This Best Practices document is valid from 3DEXPERIENCE R2022x to 3DEXPERIENCE R2024x.
