Solidworks 2014 parallel processing support

Ankit Parikh Dec 4, 2014 10:53 AM

I'm using SolidWorks 2014 for nonlinear and flow simulations, which usually take a day to solve (with a Core i7 & 16 GB RAM). Is there any way to link multiple computers on my network to speed up the solver ? I know there is a setting to enable that for meshing, but what about the solver ?

The short answer is: no.

meshing/solving > same answer, no way to do distributed computing
in flow you can pass the solving off to another computer, but that is as close to what you're asking about

the best way to improve solve time is to make your analysis as efficient as possible
