LS-DYNA® with Microsoft® Windows® HPC Server 2008
Windows HPC Server 2008 provides a productive,
cost-effective, and high-performance computing (HPC) solution that runs
on x64-bit hardware. Windows HPC Server 2008 can be deployed, managed,
and extended using familiar tools and technologies.
The HPC platform from Microsoft, called Microsoft® Windows® HPC Server
2008 is a productive, cost-effective, scalable, and easy to use solution
that is capable of performing intensive calculation of detailed models
at enhanced processing speeds. By running LS-DYNA® on Windows® HPC
Server, you can shorten the amount of time and money that is spent on
design and verification, enabling you to gain a competitive edge in the
marketplace.
Benefits:
• Industry-leading, multi-field simulation tools
• Simplified HPC platform
• Lower lifecycle costs
• Decreased time to market
• Enhanced security
The Combination
The LS-DYNA® suite and Microsoft® Windows® HPC Server 2008 accelerate
calculation speed and reduce time to insight for a wide range of
industries and applications. Windows® HPC Server provides a powerful
platform for HPC, while LS-DYNA® provides a flexible simulation solution
for finite element analysis. Together, users receive a simple to use,
cost-effective, and robust parallel processing solution for the
simulation of product testing and design that would otherwise require
large system and IT resources.
Application Areas
LS-DYNA® combined with Microsoft® Windows® HPC Server 2008
high-performance computing platform provides an accelerated solution for
engineers, mathemeticians, and designers in many industries, including:
• Automotive - Analyze vehicle designs and accurately predict
structural
integrity in a collision and the effects on the
occupants
• Metal Forming - Accurately
predict stresses and deformations
that will occur during the manufacturing process
• Aerospace - Simulate bird strike, jet engine blade
containment,
and structural failure
