Machine for metal processing simulation | Information dissemination media for research and development TEGAKARI

A customer inquired about a PC for the purpose of simulating metal processing.
Your requirements are as follows.

・CPU: The number of clocks is important. Since long-time calculation is expected, Xeon is preferred.
・GPU: NVIDIA RTX A2000 or higher
・Memory: 32GB or more, I want to have some margin
・Software used: DEFORM (4 core license)
・Others: We are also considering using it for machine learning

Based on the information you provided, we proposed the following configuration.

【Main Specifications】

CPU	Xeon Processor W-2245 (3.90GHz 8 core)
memory	128GB REG ECC
Storage 1	2TB M.2 SSD
Storage 2	4TB HDD S-ATA
Video	Nvidia RTX A4500
network	on board (10/100 / 1000Base-T x1 5G x1)
Housing + power supply	Middle tower case + 850W
OS	Microsoft Windows 11 Professional 64bit
Other	TPM module

If you prioritize the use of DEFORM, you can only use up to 4 cores due to license restrictions, so it is considered appropriate to select a CPU with a small number of cores and a high base clock.Based on this point, this example is a configuration that uses Xeon 8-core products.

■ Points

・CPU selection
I chose W-2245 (3.90GHz 8 cores). The Xeon W-2200 series has a 4-core product with a higher clock, but in this case, it is assumed that the clock will be increased with TurboBoost and other tasks will be performed at the same time, so the number of cores is set with a margin. .

・Selecting a video card
NVIDIA RTX A4500 is assumed for use in machine learning.

The configuration of this case study is based on the conditions given by the customer.
Please feel free to contact us even if you are considering different conditions from what is posted.

■FAQ

・What is DEFORM?
DEFORM is CAE software for comprehensive simulation of metal processing.It is suitable for simulation of plastic working and heat treatment by the finite element method.
