A new way to see how your CAE license pool is actually being used by product, or by user. Every checkout against your license servers is already logged somewhere in lmgrd, in the vendor daemon, in a debug file nobody opens until something breaks. The data has always existed. What's usually missing is a way to look at it without grepping through flat files... Continue Reading →
Migrating from Workstations to HPC for Scalable Simulation: A Case-Study Look
For most engineering organizations running CAE simulation structural, NVH, CFD, crash and impact analysis the growth path looks the same: hire another engineer, buy another high-end workstation. It works for a while. Then simulation queues stretch into the night, workstations sit idle between jobs, and every new hire means another capital asset that's busy for... Continue Reading →
Designing an HPC Cluster for CFD and FEA Applications:
For CFD and FEA workloads, cluster design is not just about adding more cores. It is about matching hardware to solver behavior, building the right node types, sizing memory correctly, choosing the right network and storage, and then managing the entire environment in a way that is easy for users and efficient for administrators. This... Continue Reading →
