Here is a new screenshot of cpu useage running a model from Algor. So maybe it is the model that I process that determines how many core FEA uses? if you compare this screenshot to the previous one there is a huge...
johnhors,
I tried what you said and only selected 1 CPU. I ran the analysis agian for 10 minutes.
Results after 10 minutes:
Old System - 18.75%
New System - 20.63%
New System with Affinity set to use 1 Core - 15%
I attached the model incase you wanted to give it a...
I had Algor build me a model gonna give a test run. They said that the cpu power all depends on the model that you run. Algor said that this model that they made runs @ 100% CPU usage on their dual core system. I check the "solution" tab under "Analysis Parameters" as Gbor advise and Ill see of...
GBor,
Im sorry I didnt really understand the in core vs out of core. I assume you mean the model is small enough to be In core \ cache on the processor or out of core \ cache on ram? I run Passmark Bench Mark and my new machine is faster in everyway. (hd i/o speed, ram i/o speed, cpu power etc...)
I thought by setting "numbers of processors" to all it would use all cores. I attached a screenshot of this setting. Agian thanks for all your help. I appreciate it alot :-D .http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=780af7b9-7c10-4bc2-9759-7131fddd7e31&file=MES.jpg
My new machine is Core i7 2.67 over clock 3.4ghz. I installed the 64 Bit version of Algor on it. I am running the same model. I exported from old machine to the new machine. Johnhors I see what you are saying about the software only making use of a single core. I attached a screenshot of the...
Hey guys..me agian :-)
So I tried to compare my new machine to my old one....
I was able to run the Piston MES
Old Machine completed with a time of 49 min 10 seconds. Constant CPU Usage 55-61%
New Machine completed with a time of 44 min 9 seconds.
Constant CPU Usage 15-20%
Is there something...
ok sooo a rebuild didnt work....I found the cause tho... Kinda of wierd...It was a group policy issue with Active Directory. Even tho my account was a part of the local admin group I was still unable to run it. I even ran Filemon and Regmon to try and track down if its something im getting to...
So I ended up building a new machine and doing a fresh install of everything including FEA...so far so good...
New Specs:
Microsoft Windows XP 64bit
Intel Core i7 920 Overclock to 3.4ghz
12 GB DDR3 1600mhz
ATI FireVL 5100 (not sure if this is powerful enough)
Thanks for all your help and...
I just talked to Algor and they said try installing it on a different machine because they said it soulds like the Softweare install is corrupted and if a re-install didn't fix it then try installing on a different OS
Hey Guys,
Still same issue after running the regall.bat I check the event logs to make sure the batch was not erroring out and its now. I guess I will see if Algor do soemthing about this issue...Ill let you guys know if they fix it....
