MANUFACTURING
As an example, in the automotive industry, everything from climate control systems to external aerodynamics is being aided by the use of complex fluid dynamics (CFD) software to simulate systems and optimize air flow. Computer-aided engineering is also being used to create innovative new internal systems that enhance the overall driving experience and improve fuel economy, as well as driver/passenger comfort and safety. In consumer product industries, companies are looking at packaging and production simulations to better optimize how products will be made. In electronics design, heat issues are simulated to assure long term functionality. In just about any industry were physical products are produced, product development is enhanced through complex simulations run on clusters or server farms of commodity hardware. Scali has a long history of working with adopters of this type of technology. Some of our customers include:
With Scali solutions our customers are assured robust and consistent cluster environments for getting their job done. For an example of how Scali solutions are being used for crash testing in conjunction with the LS-Dyna application, download this Crash Simulation Case Study |
More and more manufacturers, of all types, are using simulation techniques to bring new design concepts to market faster. With the ability to leverage cost effective Linux environments, companies are now able to develop a better understanding of their products during the design stage, enabling better designs and faster time to market.
