A SIMULIA e-Learning Resource
Created using Abaqus 6.12

Parallel execution in Abaqus/Explicit reduces run time for analyses that require a large number of increments and/or contain a large number of nodes and elements.  For many applications the default parallel processing settings are sufficient; however, a more in-depth understanding of all parallel processing options in Abaqus/Explicit can help you use the functionality more effectively.  Watch the narrated video below to learn more.
