Hi, Simulia has a variety of ways doing licensing from educational, research and industrial. It is all based on tokens of different prices (as you probably know). Doing parallelized jobs or other equivalent will use up these tokens in a non-linear manner (from some complex calculation they do) and improve your job performance. However, know that the calculation time decrease is far from being linear and above a few CPUs (if your code is not parallelized) will not lead to much improvements especially if they are not on the same core, as several core accessing time is much longer than the same one, on top of which you have to add the hard disk access time which is also very time consuming and important with Abaqus jobs (unless you limit the disk writing access). However, if you know a way to go round these problems, I would be happy to know about it :)
Thanks
