Parallel computing for loop in APDL

  Hello,
  There are a lot of nodes on a part surface. A concentrated force is applied to one of them. We can get the deformation of all nodes. Now the concentrated force is applied to all nodes in turn, and I want to obtain the result. The function is implemented by a loop program. I want to speed up the computation of the program. I wonder if we can complete the loop by parallel computing in APDL.
  Answer to the question will be very helpful.
  With regards
  Guo

  If you mean multi/parallel-processing:
  Multiprocessing won't work for MAPDL so that is not possible.
  
  Thank you
