    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
