Is it possible that same Abaqus file in two different workstations would result differently..? To be precise, I was running an Abaqus Explicit nonlinear dynamic analysis of a RC frame and it was resulted into excessive distortion in some elements. I had run the same file in one of my other workstations and eventually analysis was through without any distortion problems. What could be the reason.? Is it something to do with "RAM" (both my workstations are different RAM sizes: 48GB and 96GB..Any ideas would be of great help.
