FracMan Benchmark

How fast is your computer? What hardware do you need to run FracMan models? The FracMan benchmark provides answers to those questions. The FracMan software is installed on many different computers. FracMan users have run the same FracMan model on different computers with different configurations so now you can check out how long it took them to run the models.

The benchmark contains four steps:

The benchmark FracMan model contains 1242 fractures. The finite element mesh created during meshing has 36,194 elements.

Here are the runtime results for the computers and configurations that have been benchmarked so far.
