Condensed Degrees of Freedom

[ospinag]

Hello..

I'm trying to run a model with a large number of degrees of freedom (I have 4190 nodes). Is there a way to condense desired degrees of freedom in such a way that I can run a dynamic analysis in a short time? Currently I'm trying to run a dynamic loading situation, where a load takes 3 seconds to run over 256 nodes and when using the neeshub, the analysis takes about 16 hours.

Any help here is appreciated. Thank!

I hope that you use one of the sparse solvers. If your analysis last for such a long time you may consider running it through OpenSees parallel.
