The CFdesign HPC Module allows you to conduct more design studies in less time and accelerate solutions for large complex models
Just as we are committed to taking the complexity out of traditional CFD, the goal expands to removing barriers for our customers to leverage the power offered by high performance computing (HPC).
The CFdesign HPC Module provides significant value to companies looking to harness the power of a HPC network. The HPC Module can be implemented in a data center or on a smaller HPC environment, allowing engineers from large companies or small to increase productivity, while optimizing the product design.
Mechanical and product design engineers will experience dramatic speed up of simulation time for complex flow and thermal projects during the digital design phase.
Results Verify the Benefits of the CFdesign HPC Module
The examples below exemplify the increased speed for simulations spanning natural convection, HVAC airflow patterns, and drilling in the oil & gas industry.
- The HPC Module reduced a natural convection simulation solution time by 550% on a 4 computer, 16 core Windows HPC Cluster during a design study conducted to optimize surface cooling of a commercial jet in a hanger after exposure to full sun.
- During an energy audit of a university laboratory, the HPC Module reduced simulation time to optimize the lab’s HVAC airflow patterns by 525% on a 4 computer, 16 core Windows HPC Cluster.
- While conducting a design study to decrease erosion effects by improving the internal flow of liquids in a tricone bit that is used for drilling by the oil & gas industry, the HPC Module reduced the solution time by 400% on a 2 computer, 8 core Windows HPC Cluster.

Gaining the Benefits of HPC Without Breaking the Bank
Even a modest two‐computer Windows HPC cluster with the CFdesign HPC Module creates enough horsepower to speed up solution times by 400%. For example, a transient pump simulation might have previously taken 10 hours, but with a simple two-computer cluster, the time is reduced to 2.5 hours. The time saved can be used to test additional designs or move on to the next project.
