Taylor Test - Benchmark Problem

This DYNA2D analysis is a cylindrical copper projectile impacting a rigid boundary at 190 m/s. The simulation is run to 70 micro-sec in 3519 cycles (see table below graphic for run times).



1. “CPU time to 70 msec” is the processor time for the benchmark, 500 element, taylor problem run to 70 msec (3519 cycles).
2.  “CPU time 500
msec” is the same problem run to 500 msec (29658 cycles).  This is a better benchmark because the CPU time with faster computers is dominated by startup, ending and I/O.
3. TPEC is "time per zone cycle" (CPU time / # of elements / problem cycles).
