How to use all my CPU core

General Questions
1

Hi all,

I’ve noticed that my system monitor shows only one core being utilized out of my 4-core CPU. How can I configure PreProMax to fully utilize all my CPU cores?

Additionally, does PreProMax support GPU processing for calculations? If so:

  • How can I enable GPU processing?
  • Which GPUs are compatible with PreProMax?
  • Are there any recommended settings or steps to improve performance?

Thank you for your help!

Regarding GPU, check the CalculiX forum (since PrePoMax is a pre- and postprocessor for the CalculiX solver): PaStiX4CalculiX does not use GPU - CalculiX (official versions are on www.calculix.de, the official GitHub repository is at https://github.com/Dhondtguido/CalculiX).
