2.9 Radiation viewfactor calculation in restart analyses

Product: ABAQUS/Standard  

Benefits: Shorter CPU time for restart analyses that include cavity radiation.

Description: Radiation viewfactors will no longer be recalculated when a cavity radiation analysis is restarted. Instead, viewfactors will be stored whenever you request that restart data be written. The largest relative CPU time saving will be observed in jobs with large cavity definitions and in analyses with only a few increments.
