I don't understand "the frontal solver can solve only 50000 DOFs" -
there
is no such limit. Perhaps you mean what the solver can only handle 50000
master DOFs? If so, this sounds like an extremely large number. Is it
possible
that you have set all DOFs to be masters rather than just some boundary or
loading nodes?
