This utility estimates the computational resources required for finite element analysis (FEA) within the Abaqus software environment. It considers factors like model size, complexity, and analysis type to provide an approximation of the necessary tokens. For instance, a complex simulation involving nonlinear material behavior and large deformations would likely demand a higher token count than a simple linear static analysis.
Accurate resource estimation is crucial for efficient job scheduling and cost management in commercial FEA. By providing insights into anticipated computational demands, this tool empowers users to optimize resource allocation, predict runtime, and potentially explore cost-saving strategies. Historically, resource management in FEA has been challenging. The evolution of estimation tools represents a significant step toward better resource control and streamlined simulation workflows.
