There must be some command or something which forces to use all cores but unfortunately I don't know it.
In the picture is shown usage of the CPU during running SOL 700.
Thanks for help.

Parallel Processing (SMP) MDR3 Sol700 in WIN/XP
1. Install Microsoft Compute Cluster Pack. This can be installed from the Microsoft web site at the URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/details.aspx?FamilyID=d8462378-2f68-409d-9cb3-02312bc23bfd&displaylang=en#filelist
The file name is sdk_x64.msi (for WIN/XP/Vista/Windows7 64-bit OS)
2. Edit the SOL700 execution control card in the input deck as follows:
SOL 700,129 PATH=3 STOP=1
3. Create a file named sol700.pth in the working directory with the following contents:
C:\MSC.Software\MD_Nastran\md2008\dyna\run_dytran
exe=C:\MSC.Software\MD_Nastran\md2008\dyna\dytran-lsdyna
nproc=2
memory=30m
debug=yes
The typical MD Nastran installation directory is used here.
exe=C:\MSC.Software\MD_Nastran\md2008\dyna\dytran-lsdyna (This line is optional if the default installation of dytran-lsdyna executable is used)
nproc=2 is used for two processors
memory=30m is used for 30MB
The memory and debug lines are also optional.
MD Nastran (MDR3) Sol700 parallel can be now run with this set up.
