The Processors command selects the number of processors to use when running parallel versions of NairnMPM, and NairnFEA. The format is

Processors (number)

where number is the number of processors.

To select number of processors when using XML input files, enter the following comment anywhere in the file:

<!--processors #-->

where # is replaced by the number of processors.

Setting number of processors greater than 1 implies you are running parallel versions of code engines. If not, an error will result and no calculations will run.
If the requested number is greater than the available number of processors, it will be reduced to the available number of processors.
