Thanks for the link. Ugh, per-core licensing is pita. Tell the decision-maker at your work to pay for the cores or switch to some code with more sensible pricing model. Do the alternatives (like Ansys) charge per core as well?

Unfortunately, Abaqus is required for the work we do. According to our senior ME, it has the best contact surface handling and therefore is the only software that's suitable for our types of models. (I don't have much more detail to add, as I don't actually work on our FEA stuff. I just get to advise, as the EE who knows computers inside and out.)
