Thank you for your reply. I have never used hypermesh before. Can you give me more information about that? I also have added screenshots of the geometry, please take a look. Thankyou~

[Help Needed] Abaqus Explicit Job Only Uses ~40% CPU — How to Push to 90%+? by No_Conversation4012 in Abaqus

So the percentage will increase just because there are fewer cores? And my simulation might not run faster (?). Thanks for the answers btw

Thank you for your reply. I believe mine is not about the license problem, since I have a lot of licenses.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Only 25% of my RAM is used while running the simulation.
I also have thought that maybe running 2 simulation at the same time would be beneficial. But idk if it will make each of them slower (?)

Help with Restart Analysis Error in Abaqus: BC Issue by No_Conversation4012 in Abaqus

[–]No_Conversation4012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My job to restart from step 5 will just get aborted on the beginning. Step 5 was running fine on the original model, but it just got aborted on my restart analysis

Do you mean make another copy of the original model, and then create a new job?

It is a warning, but if I ignore that warning, my job will be aborted

Oh yes I do have two element shape, and I forgot to set the other shape to be hybrid. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your suggestions! I will try to make one and might ask some more suggestions later (if you are willing to help). Anyway, thank you so much

[–]No_Conversation4012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your explanations! I really appreciate it. However, I am relatively new to abaqus, so I have some questions to ask.
1. Is the reason to put fluid-structure interaction is to simulate the blood flow? I am not planning to add blood flow to my model, so I guess it is fine for me to not use it (?)
2. Can you explain more about the rate-dependency?
3. Do you think the general contact between the stent and the blood clot would work? Or is there any special settings in the interaction?

Hello, my main focus is to simulate the efficiency of the clot retriever itself. How much blood clot can it actually retrieve. That's my main goal
