Hi,

I am running a big model (827759 nodes) with 12 subcases for linear static or SOL101. I think that it took too much time on our server. When I ran the same model with only one subcase it took about 3.5 hours.

I am looking a simple rule of thumb for the following ratio?

(CPU time needed for N subcases) / (CPU time needed for only one subcase)

Regards,
AAY
