ANSYS Users Can Achieve Faster Simulation Results with Intel Xeon E5-2600 Processors

By DE Editors

ANSYS software users can realize significant gains in speed, fidelity and productivity with the recent release of the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600, realized in collaboration with ANSYS high-performance computing (HPC) experts. By accelerating throughput, the new Intel processor technologies will enable ANSYS users to consider more product ideas, making design tradeoffs more easily and increasing their engineering productivity.
 
ANSYS has worked with Intel to make sure our joint customers can leverage the new Xeon processor family to ensure their products will perform as expected in the real word, said Jim Cashman, president and CEO of ANSYS. This new platform represents a powerhouse for a majority of workflows and is a strategic technology to enable engineering simulation in HPC environment.
 
Using a demonstration project called 50:50:50, automotive engineers leverage morphing, advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver numerics, HPC environments and process automators to simulate 50 shape variants of a vehicle, with high-fidelity CFD simulations that use a computational mesh of 50 million cells for simulating each design point, in a total elapsed time of 50 hours after initial case setup. By using Intels new-generation Xeon processors, these same simulations now take only 34 hours.
