Thermal fluid simulation machine

A customer involved in the research and development of automotive technology consulted us about replacing workstations.
The application is a thermal fluid simulation, and we would like a configuration with as many cores as possible and a high processing speed.
Here's what the customer expects:

・CPU: Currently using Xeon Gold 6136 x2 units, so the performance is as high as possible
・Memory: 128GB or more
・Storage: about 2TB
・Liquid crystal display: Two units of about 24 inches
・Power environment: 100V
・Software used: CONVERGE 3.0.24
・Budget: 300 million yen

 

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

【Main Specifications】

CPU Xeon Gold 6338 (2.00GHz 32 cores)
memory 512GB REG ECC
Storage 1 2TB M.2 SSD
Storage 2 10TB HDD S-ATA
Video NVIDIA RTX A4500 20GB DisplayPort x4
network On Board (1000Base-T X2)
Housing + power supply Tower type housing + 1000W
OS Microsoft Windows 11 Professional 64bit
Other 23.8-inch wide LCD display
TPM module
additional internal fan

Since there is room in the budget, it is a proposal with a configuration that exceeds the customer's expected specifications.

GPGPU is supported in CONVERGE Ver3.1 or later.

Ver3.0 does not support GPGPU, so the software version makes a big difference.In the configuration of this example, in anticipation of upgrading to Ver3.1, a video card that can be actively used with GPGPU is installed.

The CPU and memory capacity are selected with priority given to the current software environment.

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 CONVERGE?
CONVERGE is simulation software used in the CFD field.Incompressible/compressible fluids, combustion phenomena, etc. can be modeled.It also has an automatic mesh generation function, making it suitable for simulating objects with complex shapes.
