To locate the adaptivity process editor, select 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.
- 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 and the output format of the results. For more information, see Specifying general adaptivity process settings.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
The settings that you specify in the adaptivity process editor apply to each of the analyses that runs after each iteration of the adaptive remesh.
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 Environment File Settings.
