ANSYS Benchmark #5: Procedure

Example PADT has created this online benchmark database for the ANSYS user community. The success of this effort will rely upon the user community running and submitting results as follows. Other benchmarks can be seen on the Benchmark Index.

A Test of the CPU

This particular benchmark is a small contact with plasticity model which will primarily exercise the CPU of your system. Hard drive, RAM, and -m/-db settings should not influence the results. The benchmark should be run in batch mode as the only significant process on you system. Results that are substantially faster or slower than other systems of similar configuration will be flagged for verification.

Please note that this test is very similar to Benchmark #2, except that run times have been lengthened to provide an adequate scale of comparison for newer and faster processors.

Procedure for Benchmarking

  • All available benchmark input macro files can be downloaded here: Benchmark MAC files - run it in batch mode.
  • An ouput file called bench5.dat will be created in the working directory.
  • Using the solution’s wall time and CPU time listed at the end of the output file, fill in the form below.
  • Click the Submit button at the bottom of this page, and you will then be redirected to the Results List where your new entry should now appear.
