Product: ABAQUS/Explicit
Benefits: Intermediate results can be viewed while a multi-CPU domain parallel ABAQUS/Explicit analysis is running. Merging multiple output database (.odb) files manually is no longer required.
Description: By default, domain parallel ABAQUS/Explicit jobs no longer create multiple output database files that must be merged for viewing results in the Visualization module of ABAQUS/CAE. Instead, ABAQUS/Explicit now creates a single output database file that contains results of the whole model. The multiple output database file scheme can be restored by setting the environment variable parallel_odb=MULTIPLE.
