No headers Specifies whether you want numerical calculations to be performed on a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) card when running a 3D Fill+Pack (Flow) analysis.
Options are:
- Automatic
This option is selected by default. The solver automatically detects and uses the GPU if one is available on the computer and it is able to deliver a speed enhancement compared to using the CPU.
- Use GPU
Select this option if the computer has a GPU installed and you always want the solver to perform calculations on the GPU.
- Do not use GPU
Select this option if you do not want the solver to perform calculations on the GPU, even if one is available.
NoteThe use of a GPU card on a machine with sufficient memory can result in a significant reduction in analysis time.
TipTo maximize the additional computational power offered by GPU technology, a dedicated GPU should be available for the analysis. Ensure no other tasks are accessing or sharing the GPU while the analysis is running.
