TotalCAE | TotalCAE HPC Technology Choices for Accelerating the SIMULIA Portfolio

We were honored to have Rod Mach from TotalCAE present at the 2026 SIMULIA Americas Users Conference in Novi, Michigan, May 13-14, 2026.

Abstract: 

The SIMULIA portfolio from Dassault Systèmes — including Abaqus, Isight, Tosca, fe-safe, CST Studio Suite, and more — powers critical multi-physics simulations across industries. Maximizing the performance and scalability of these tools requires carefully selected high-performance computing (HPC) technologies.
