Hi,
I just added the support for multi-core simulation to my HFSS license file. It now supports 8 processors/cores. I changed the corresponding settings in HFSS option/solver to 8 processors. If I put 9 processors there, the license server will complain, so I guess the setting and license server are configured correctly.
But when I actually run a simulation, the CPU usage remains at 10%, and the simulation speed is almost exactly the same. When I run a parametrics scan of around 50 points, the "solving" is always 1 (I expected it to be 8). I mainly solve eigenvalues, so the most time-consuming program is eigen.exe. Is it just my wrong-doing, or is it that eigen.exe does not support multi-thread/core/processor?
Does anyone know?
My machine:
Intel i7 8 threads with 32 GB RAM
Windows 7 enterprise X64
HFSS 14.0.1
Many Thanks!!
