Trouble with memory for 3D soil model

[MIRomero]

I am trying to run a dynamic analysis for a 3D soil model using Bbarbrick elements with 31668 elements and 35046 nodes in OpenSees 2.4, do you think it is necessary to use parallel processing for this problem?

I have run successfully a column of soil with the same soil and analysis properties for many input motions, but now that I expanded the model, it is not running in my computer. Currently I am trying to run it in NEESHub, and it is running, but really slow. What is the maximum capacity that OpenSees has to work properly without Parallel Processing? Do you think it is better to work with Parallel Processing for this problem?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

if you go to NEEShub and you want to stay sequential, try using the parallel version of the code with 1 processor and use the Mumps solver (not available in sequential version)
