The FIDAP 8.5 release provides a host of new problem-solving capabilities and solver enhancements, including parallel processing to speed your calculations and reduce turnaround time. This version's fully-parallelized segregated solver is based on a mesh partitioning/message passing scheme and runs on Windows NT and most UNIX machines. All aspects of the solution have been parallelized, including input, element pass, solution, and output. Take advantage of your multiprocessor machines to gain faster solutions!

Typical parallel processing performance results for various system architectures. 3D laminar and turbulent test problems were used with meshes from 25,000 to 100,000 nodes.
