A direct solver is available that leverages multicore processing capability and improves solution speed for static and nonlinear studies.
In the Static or Nonlinear dialog box, under Solver, select Large Problem Direct Sparse.
By leveraging enhanced memory-allocation algorithms, the solver can handle simulation problems that exceed the physical memory of your computer.
If you initially select the Direct Sparse solver and due to limited memory resources it has reached an out-of-core solution, a warning message alerts you to switch to the Large Problem Direct Sparse.
