Simulation Timing Information

Implemented feature to view timing information. Three types of data can be viewed.

1. Timing distribution based on some major routines in LS-DYNA such as contact, element, etc. AND individual contact based.

2. When running in distributed environment, you can view the host/processor based timing distribution.

3. Using data available in 2, you can view the deviation of each processor from the average (optimum) timing information. Percentage deviation of each processor from the optimum (average) timing is plotted against each processor/host. The deviation chart is broken down further to faster processors, whose individual timing is lower than the average, and slower processors, whose timing is higher than the average. In the example below, you can see that processor number 7 is performing at optimum level while processor number 9 is the slowest. You can diagnose the problem further by outputting the decomposed model for each processor to look at its contents for performing tuning.

Thanks to Dilip Bhalsod for the suggestion!

New Server!

Upgraded the server. Should expect a 3x speed up. Also enabled cache to render static pages.

Contact Definitions

Added extraction and viewing of contact interface definitions. The view part is currently hooked up as an initial interface but will be redesigned as we hook up other options. Any suggestions on the display are welcome.

Multiple Curve Plotting

Implemented multi-curve plotting support for both IE and Firefox. Here is the snapshot:

Scalable Vector Graphics

Fixed a major bug affecting SVG rendering in Mozilla Firefox. Now plotting of any SVG is rendered properly in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. Firefox rendering seems a little slow though. Example of svg usage is a simple pie-chart showing mass-distribution.

Job File Name and Title

Implemented feature to view the job name and the job title at the top of the page. This is helpful to associate the contents quickly to the job name/title irrespective of the page location.
