3DEXPERIENCE Cloud provides easy access to the necessary, on-demand computing power for all types of simulation workflows.
If you are an Abaqus user who,
- spends significant time to reduce model sizes to fit on your available hardware resources,
- waits too long for simulation jobs to start in the on premise HPC queue,
- wants to model more variants emanating from design changes, but lack the computing resources to execute them,
- faces project delays or lost contracts due to lack of timely access to required hardware capacity, or
- simply looking for an option to off-load work from your local hardware to a performant HPC solution,
then leveraging Abaqus on 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud can enable you to meet your technical and business goals, on time and on quality.
KEY BENEFITS OF LEVERAGING CLOUD FOR ABAQUS SIMULATION
1. Innovate without hardware barriers: Innovating products requires that design alternatives are evaluated quickly and “what-if” studies are performed. Cloud gives access to unlimited compute resources to run as many simulation jobs as possible at the same time.
2. Simulate with more details: Many CAE Analysts spend hours simplifying their models, deciding on what model details need to be excluded to arrive at a model size that fits their workstations or local HPC, and deliver results in acceptable time. The need to run mesh convergence studies and design change impacts make this process even more arduous. Cloud-powered simulation with access to unlimited compute power can alleviate these challenges. You can use the CAD geometry as-is, without simplifications. With cloud, the time spent to reduce the model size can be reduced significantly and it opens up the doors to run as many jobs in parallel as needed.
3. Meet compute needs exactly: With a combination of token and credit-based licensing, you can meet your compute needs exactly.
4. Avoid HPC set up times in a pre-configured cloud environment: 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud provides a preconfigured environment that provides optimal turnaround time for models. You can select from a range of compute configurations.
5. Securely store simulation models and results on cloud and access them from anywhere: You can also store your Abaqus input files, CAE models and results securely on 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud. This gives you access to these files from anywhere and allows you to collaboratively share these files with other project stakeholders.
6. No need to acquire or maintain HPC assets: With 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud, capital investments for HPC hardware purchase or replacement are no longer required. The cloud also gives you access to the latest, most reliable hardware without having the responsibility of researching and replacing your own equipment
PERFORMANCE
Abaqus performance on 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud is as good, if not better, than typical on-premise deployments. Below are some examples of Abaqus performance utilizing larger core configurations on 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud.
