HPC solutions for CAE

IBM System x and BladeCenter solutions that deliver value

  
 
Collaboration brings innovative solutions to market
The complexity of your simulation, design and analytical tasks requires extreme computing power, but your bottom line demands flexibility, the power to choose what’s best for your business, with great price-performance. Combining IBM System x™ and BladeCenter® pre-tested and configured Linux® or Windows® — based clusters with IBM System Storage™ and innovative offerings from IBM Business Partners, you can help simplify management, enhance cluster availability and reduce time and resources necessary to deploy HPC clusters while keeping fixed costs to a minimum.

  • Enable an affordable, scalable, high-availability computing solution designed to support compute-intensive applications.
  • Accelerate time to market with high productivity across engineering organizations through ease of use and information sharing.
  • Help reduce implementation and development costs with innovative technology designed to maximize productivity with a collaborative environment.

Innovative technology

IBM System Cluster 1350
An integrated solution, the IBM System Cluster 1350 has a wide-range of pre-engineered flexible hardware options, a balanced cluster software environment with systems and workload management, and optimized implementations of major CAE applications. This is a very robust and scalable platform for industrial strength CAE. For the first time, many smaller suppliers with limited in-house skills will have an affordable CAE solution that will give them a competitive edge.

ABAQUS, Inc.
ABAQUS technology enables users to model the most complex phenomena and to consider even the most subtle effects. With a strong emphasis on high-performance computing, ABAQUS effectively solves the largest and most computer-intensive problems today. With its unique combination of implicit and explicit technologies, plus the ability to perform integrated multibody dynamics, ABAQUS offers a compelling alternative to implementations involving multiple products and vendors.

ANSYS Inc.
ANSYS is leading the evolution of CAE tools and technologies, delivering customer value by enabling companies to improve product development and processes. ANSYS is committed to developing simulation solutions — from mechanical to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) — that illustrate realistic and accurate modeling and simulation of components, subsystems, and systems. Replacing hardware prototyping and testing, ANSYS solutions drive product designs from concept to reality.

ESI Group
ESI Group has developed a suite of coherent industry-oriented applications to realistically simulate a product’s behavior during certification testing, to fine tune the manufacturing processes in synergy with the desired product performance, and to evaluate the operational or accidental environment’s impact on product usage. ESI Group’s product portfolio, represents a unique collaborative, virtual engineering solution, known as the Virtual Try-Out Space (VTOS), enabling a continuous improvement on the virtual prototype.

Fluent
The combination of ANSYS and Fluent technologies will enable customers to increase operational efficiency, lower design and engineering costs, and accelerate development and delivery of new and innovative products to the marketplace. Together, ANSYS and Fluent represent one of the most complete, independent engineering simulation software offerings in the industry, reaffirming and strengthening the ANSYS/Fluent commitment to open interface and flexible simulation solutions built upon world class technologies.

Livermore Software Technology Corporation (LSTC)
A team of engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists are engaged in the development of LS-DYNA, LS-PrePost, and LS-OPT for use in various industries, including Automobile Design, Aerospace, Manufacturing, and Bioengineering. LS-DYNA development is focused on one code methodology that includes Implicit, Explicit, SMP and MPP solvers and is optimized for clusters running Unix, Linux, and Windows operating systems.

MS C.Software
Delivered over the fully integrated and extendable SimEnterprise platform, MSC Software’s integrated virtual product development tools use detailed digital product models to simulate and verify every aspect of product performance. This empowers manufacturers to make and track critical design decisions and communicate and coordinate product development with all points of the enterprise.
