SOLIDWORKS Simulation
Multiple processor cores and FEA: Good or bad?
There’s a lot of information scattered around the net regarding the usefulness of multiple core processors for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in SOLIDWORKS Simulation. So what exactly is the optimum number of cores for FEA? Good question! There are some areas
