Use the adaptivity process editor to customize your adaptivity processes before submitting them. The settings are analogous to parameters of the ABAQUS execution procedure. For more information, see “Execution procedure for ABAQUS/Standard and ABAQUS/Explicit,” Section 3.2.2 of the ABAQUS Analysis User's Manual.
To locate the adaptivity process editor, select Adaptivity
Editadaptivity process name from the main menu bar. The adaptivity process editor contains the following tabbed pages:
Adaptivity
Use the Adaptivity tabbed page to specify the maximum number of analysis iterations and to select the run mode. For more information, see “Configuring adaptivity process attributes,” Section 18.8.2.
General
Use the General tabbed page to configure preprocessor printout and to specify a scratch directory. You also use the General tabbed page to specify any user subroutines that are referred to by the model. For more information, see “Specifying general adaptivity process settings,” Section 18.8.3.
Memory
Use the Memory tabbed page to configure the amount of memory allocated to each of the adaptivity analyses. For more information, see “Controlling adaptivity process memory settings,” Section 18.8.4.
Parallelization
Use the Parallelization tabbed page to configure the parallel execution of an ABAQUS analysis job, such as the number of processors to use and the parallelization method. For more information, see “Controlling adaptivity process parallel execution,” Section 18.8.5.
Precision
Use the Precision tabbed page to specify the precision of nodal output that is written to the output database during each analysis. For more information, see “Controlling adaptivity process precision,” Section 18.8.6.
You can also use the ABAQUS environment file (abaqus_v6.env) to control the default value of many of the settings in the adaptivity process editor tabbed pages. For more information, see “Using the ABAQUS environment settings,” Section 3.3.1 of the ABAQUS Analysis User's Manual.
