We are upgrading our SWX package to include Simulation. Is itbest to go with a stand alone workstation or a dedicated server forthe Simulation application? We have had mixed recommendations.
IT recommends aserver so that they can support us in engineering.
ADVANTAGES:
*They can also shoot the RAM on the server much higher than the PCthat we are specing out (up to 64 GB).
*We can have multiple users work from the server and have studiesrun simultaneously.
*may not need high end GPU since it is mostly RAM dependent.
DISADVANTAGES:
*will only be for simulation and not act as a modeling station.
*IT is involved.....
Engineering is leaning towardsStand Alone.
ADVANTAGES:
*Will also act as a SWX modeling station
*no IT clutter
*Engineering will be Admin
*DISADVANTAGES:
*one user at a time
*may bog down SWX performance when running Simulationsimultaneously
We are looking at the Dell T7400
dual Quad Xeon 3.0 Ghz
XP 64
32 GB RAM
nVidia Quadro FX4800
RAID 2x 160 GB 10K HDD
We will run small assemblies (10 parts or so max.) and run moldanalysis.
Any Ideas??SolidworksSimulation
