Parallel Cavity Radiation

Parallel Cavity Radiation

Goals:
Enable cavities larger than v6.10-EF limit 16,000 facets Provide a parallel and scalable cavity radiation feature

Approach:
Solve same equations as old serial code (gray, diffuse, surface radiation) Avoid inversion of large matrix by solving problem with iterative solver
(New algorithm - only available in 64-bit platforms)

Parallel Cavity Radiation

Example problem: exhaust manifold (4,500 facets)

Serial cavity radiation: 4 minutes(v6.11 , 8 cpu) Parallel cavity radiation: 33 seconds (v6.11, 8 cpu) 8x speed-up

Parallel Cavity Radiation

Very large cavities

Serial cavity radiation limit: 16,000 facets

Limitation due to internal 2GB limit for element storage.

Largest cavity radiation run to date: 128,000 facets

128,000 facets ran in 128 cpus. Job completed in 63 iterations (38 minutes). In serial mode (if possible) would require 131GB on a single node to run.

Performance targets and required hardware

The basic target was to achieve an overall speedup for Abaqus/Standard (standard.exe wall time) of 2x versus a 4 core cpu only time for our benchmark model s4b. Requires compute specific GPGPU
NVIDIA Tesla C2050, C2070 GPU Computing Processor Support for compute cards from AMD is expected by release. The solver can be run on lesser cards, but performance expectations must be reduced

Optimal performance requires the factorization to remain in core

Contact

Contact stress error indicators

Provide some perspective on accuracy of contact stresses Hertz contact example
Maximum contact pressure Analytical solution Maximum error indicator
Pressure

Abaqus solutions

Error indicators

Points to remember for Position error indicators: Tend to be large where local variation of base variable is more complex than what can be captured by the mesh Not normalized; same units as base variable Not conservative or precise estimates of error

Contact stress error indicators

Recall improvements for 2nd-order elements in 6.10EF
Prior versions

6.10EF & 6.11

6.11

Less noise

Error indicator
Accurate prediction of maximum CPRESS Some uncertainty where gradient is large but pressure is low

Prior versions

6.10EF & 6.10

6.11

Less noise

Error indicator
Need finer mesh to predict maximum contact pressure

Contact stress error indicators

Two deformable blocks
p=1

One element per block p=1

Error indicator does not show evidence of inaccuracy if mesh is too coarse!

Edge effects evident after mesh refinement

Edge-to-surface contact
Supplementary edge-to-surface formulation for general contact Targets situations in which the active contact zone in a numerical model corresponds to a line associated with a feature edge Whereas the surface-to-surface formulation best treats contact over a finite area
General contact with S-to-S formulation General contact with S-to-S and E-to-S formulations

Diverges 25% into simulation Penetration near feature edge 36 increments; 317 iterations

Runs to completion Good resolution of contact 28 increments; 130 iterations

Future: add edge-to-edge formulation

Eulerian Heat Transfer Element

Eulerian Heat Transfer Element

New Element Type: EC3D8RT

8-node thermally coupled linear multi-material Eulerian brick Active degrees of freedom 1,2,3,11 Temperature calculated as part of the fully-coupled problem

Procedure:
*Dynamic Temperature-Displacement, Explicit Mechanical loads valid for EC3D8R also supported for EC3D8RT Thermal loads that are supported:
*Dflux, *Film, *Radiate *Dsflux, *Sfilm, *Sradiate

Eulerian Heat Transfer Element

Example 1:
Deep indentation problem (white area is initially void ) temperature is fixed at the bottom; the heat source is the plastic dissipation ran with 2 cpus and 4 domains

Eulerian Heat Transfer Element

Example 2:
Eulerian heat transfer in a progressively filled block Material flows in at 100, Film condition on the lefts side (1st step); additional film condition at the top in the 2nd step

Eulerian Heat Transfer Element

Example 3:
Rivet Forming changed existing example problem to use EC3D8RT instead of EC3D8R in a *Dynamic Temperature-Displacement analysis Initial temperature at 20, will increase due to plastic work effects Run with 8 cpus and 16 domains

Mass Adjust
Specify a target mass with optional target time increment

*MASS ADJUST
You can specify a target mass or a trim level for an ELSET. Abaqus/Explicit will adjust the mass up or down to meet the target. You can further redistribute the mass within the ELSET to raise the stable time increment to a target value.

You can even redistribute just the current mass to achieve the target time increment without adding extra pounds!!!

Verification
1. Verify specified mass: test and reference elements have different densities but the element set masses are adjusted to be the same. The dynamic responses are therefore similar.

Subcycling improvements

Subcycling robustness improvements

Allows different time increments to be used for different groups of elements Reduces run time for an analysis when a small region of elements (subcycling zone) in the model controls the stable time increment Keyword Interface to define a subcycling zone *SUBCYCLING, ELSET=element_set_name Subcycling feature available in Abaqus/Explicit version v6.8-EF
However functionality not robust enough. Analysis becomes unstable/shows unphysical behavior in the subcycling zone Energy balance not achieved when general contact is defined

Additional AQUA Wave types

AQUA Waves that generate loads on structures

Additional wave formulations in A/Explicit

Waves acting on structures generate loads such as buoyancy, drag, and inertial loads. For A/Explicit rel6-10ef, the wave definition was limited to only the 5th Order Stokes wave formulation. For A/Explicit 6.11, You could also use the Airy wave formulation or provide a more general definition through VWAVE user-subroutine.
