SimuTech Group and Microsoft Team-up to Offer HPC Solutions for ANSYS FEA and CFD Customers

By DE Editors

SimuTech Group is partnering with Microsoft to introduce customers of ANSYS FEA and CFD (ANSYS) simulation software to Windows HPC Server 2008. By incorporating the server into their existing engineering processes, ANSYS customers can reduce their solution times, according to SimuTech Group, allowing more detailed and complex models to be analyzed or more engineering designs to be evaluated and optimized over a shorter period of time.

“Our ANSYS FEA and CFD customers are always looking for means to increase their productivity. While the combination of ANSYS software and Windows-based computers continue to yield incremental gains, customer can take the next full step in productivity with the incorporation of a Windows HPC Server 2008 solution,” says Rick James, SimuTech Group’s vice president of Consulting Services. “For some time now, SimuTech has been working directly with Microsoft in optimizing the implementation of the Windows HPC Server 2008 solution running ANSYS software.   As a result of this collaboration with Microsoft, SimuTech is uniquely qualified in working with customers in implementing an HPC solution.”

ANSYS customers can use their existing ANSYS licenses for the base configuration.  To make the jump to an HPC environment, ANSYS HPC licenses are added to their existing ANSYS license. ANSYS HPC licenses are a fraction of the price when compared to the base license.
