how use many PC to run a job in abaqus ?

[seiff]

if i have many Pc , and i want to use them to create a network, so the abaqus can use the other CPU, to miminise the calculation time.
that's possible???

Yes it is. You may need a license for each CPU.

You could try ClusterKnoppix as an OS.

Peformance gains tend to rise as sqrt (cpu), so you probably won't feel much happier until you get 16 cpus or so.

According to DistroWatch, ClusterKnoppix has the virtue of being stable, because it's discontinued.

DistroWatch's search function comes up with some more current alternatives:
