As engineering workloads improve in complexity, engineers are challenged with managing simulation and visualization duties all through the design cycle. New applied sciences like generative design, digital and augmented actuality, high-quality rendering, and synthetic intelligence workflows are placing much more strain on compute assets.
To satisfy these calls for, engineering workstations have to be rigorously configured not just for CAD but in addition for computationally intensive simulations like computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite aspect evaluation (FEA). Engineers typically run a number of purposes concurrently, making workstation optimization crucial.
Discovering the best steadiness of CPU cores, GPU energy, RAM, storage and energy administration is usually a problem. On the upcoming Digital Engineering Design & Simulation Summit – a web based occasion happening Oct. 31 – attendees can find out about how engineering workstation configuration can have an effect on CAD resolution efficiency, within the context of in the present day’s extra advanced engineering workflows. Within the session titled “Benchmarking Engineering Workstation Efficiency,” Bryan Pawlak, Senior Software Engineer, Strategic Options at Goengineer, will concentrate on {hardware} efficiency good points in computer-aided design software program. The benchmarking outcomes he’ll current are particular to SOLIDWORKS, however general information efficiency deltas are anticipated to be comparable in different CAD techniques.
The web Design & Simulation Summit takes place on Oct. 31, kicking off with a keynote panel dialogue about AI and simulation at 12 PM EDT.
For the previous six years, Pawlak has carried out 1000’s of benchmarking research—over 250,000 runs in complete. This intensive information assortment permits him to investigate key {hardware} elements and their affect on SOLIDWORKS efficiency. Via robust partnerships with {hardware} suppliers resembling Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Dell, Lenovo, and Boxx, Goengineer has been capable of take a look at trending {hardware} together with, however not restricted to, Intel Professional processors (with P-cores & E-cores), AMD Threadripper processors, NVIDIA Ampere and Ada graphics playing cards, AMD Radeon Professional graphics playing cards, and varied workstation set-ups.
The intent of the presentation is to coach CAD customers concerning the significance of {hardware} choice and the affect this has on general efficiency.
Pawlak has been an Elite Software Engineer within the SOLIDWORKS reseller channel since 2006 and has offered for a few years at 3DExperience World. During the last six years, he has spent an intensive period of time working almost 250,000 benchmarks on main workstation {hardware}.
The occasion kicks off with a stay panel dialogue about synthetic intelligence in simulation, adopted by 4 extra displays. Along with the workstation configuration session, there are additionally periods on digital twin utilization in engineering, designing for additive manufacturing, and making the enterprise case for simulation. You’ll be able to be taught extra concerning the digital Design & Simulation Summit on the occasion webpage, and register for the engineering workstation session here.
