User Story 106620: Integrate the Cuthill-McKee ordering algorithm into the parallel linear solver preconditioner of the thermal solver to enhance the performance of radiation simulations for finite element models
Fixed versions: 2412.9
A new reordering algorithm has been integrated into the parallel linear solver preconditioner of the thermal solver to enhance the efficiency of radiation-dominated simulations for finite element (FE) models. Previously, FE models with significant radiative heat transfer experienced notable slowdowns during the preconditioner update step in parallel computations. This performance bottleneck has now been effectively addressed by the new algorithm. Following this integration, some FE models may exhibit minor variations due to changes in the preconditioned matrix, which influence convergence behavior. However, these differences do not affect key result types, such as solid temperatures.
