Maximum Number of Nodes, Elements and Materials

Maximum number of nodes, elements and materials

Maximum number of nodes is
approx 670e6
These values are dictated by the theoretical limits upon internal storage. Contemporary machines will not have nearly enough memory to reach these limits.
 Maximum number of elements is
approx 350e6
Maximum number of parts is approx
 50e6

These are the maximum quantities that may be processed.

The maximum external label ids are limited only by output field width, so that the permitted external label range is 1 - 2**63 (approx 9e18).

In practice "small" format Ansys LS-DYNA is limited to 99,999,999, and "large" format Ansys LS-DYNA to 999,999,999,999,999.
