Rain! Finally! . . . . . its a rainy day... very rainy.

After a dry spell, bush fires and smokey skies for the pass month, it has finally rained!! No more smokey smell of burnt ashes in the morning, nor misty foggy skies. Ahh!! Its sooo good to breathe and see clearly again.

Its just after lunch, and i just cannot imagine starting work. The inertia must weigh a few million tonnes. >_< Cos during lunch, i just calculated the time i need to do that 54 simulations (note that i REcalculated the number of simulations i would be required to do, twice! and it still adds up to 54. -_- arent the numbers suppose to go down everytime you count it? Ah! maybe i got it confused with my wallet -_- )

Calculation process:. . . . . . . . .

3 Different Materials,
3 Different Microstructure per Material
3 Different Striker Velocity per material per microstructure
AND!
2 Different dependence PER material, PER microstructure, PER striker velocity. . . . . . . . . .

-_-"

= 3 X 3 X 3 X 2= 54. . . . .

time taken PER simulation. NINE HOURS!

Total time taken for ALL simulation = 54 X 9 = 486Hrs
Number of Days to run simulation = 486/24 = 20 1/4

i need almost 3 WEEKS to run that 54 simulations on ONE computer!!!!
Lucky i got 2.. but still... its like a minimum of 11 Days!!!!!

-_- and i still havent been able to start yet... Hahahahaha....

This is SOOO FUN! >_<
