Benchmarking Report 4: Stay Current, Be More Productive

Autodesk Simulation, as part of the company’s Digital Prototyping solution, offers a portfolio of mechanical, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), composite, structural, and plastics simulation capabilities that have been optimized to exploit modern hardware for optimal performance.

The latest versions of Autodesk CFD 2016 and Autodesk Nastran 2016, include algorithm enhancements, meshing improvements and across-the-board solver upgrades that deliver a higher level of performance for both routine and complex simulation tasks.

As the benchmarking results in this report show, Autodesk CFD 2016 running on a modern workstation with dual, multi-core processors (up to 10 cores) will run certain large-scale fluid and thermal analyses more than 9x faster than they would run on a three-year-old workstation.
