CPU (cores) usage

[Jummybear]

Hi,

Very easy question: why robot dont use all cores due model/mesh generation/calculation? For example on my machine i have 8 cores and robot use only 4 of them. Whats the reason?

Hi,

Robot can use multiple cores in these situations:

- FEM calculations with multithreaded solver

- plate and shells required reinforcement calculations

- steel design module (in case of simultaneus runs of design - each run on different core \ thread)

Its just that what i use at the moment, if you need i can send you a model or a screenshot. I calculate shell model with ca 50000 nodes using multithreaded sover, 4 cores from 8 are in use, maybe i do it in wrong way or some robot calculation options are not correctly configured?

There are no advanced settings for multithreaded solver in Robot.

If there are some limitations you can most likely find them here:
