From: How muscle stiffness affects human body model behavior
Computation time of the frontal impact simulation for different muscle stiffness states and for different keyword and hardware settings. For ‘Server’, Input and Output (IO) and CPU performance were influenced by simulations of other users, while for ‘Isolated CPU’ only IO was influenced. Data from all different stiffness cases are shown. Cycle refers to one cycle of the explicit time integration. a and b did not reach the final simulation time of 160 ms. Therefore, the computation time was compared for specific cycles. a Simulation was run on a server with undefined time step in the CONTROL_TIMESTEP keyword. b Simulation was run on an isolated CPU with undefined time step. c Simulation was run on a server with a predefined time-step size of 1 ms achieved by mass scaling
