Hello everyone

Can anyone suggest me how much computational power needed to run a 3D model with ALE mesh in Abaqus/Explicit. I currently use (intel core i7 3.2 GHz and 12 GB RAM) but it seems not sufficient and abaqus abort itself after some running time. I would be very gratefull if you suggest any valuable information. by the way, I am working on cutting simulation in abaqus/explict.

Regards
