Threadripper 3X-equipped computer for FLOW-9960D


A client involved in research on social infrastructure and urban planning contacted us to ask about a PC for using FLOW-3D in a Windows environment.

Based on the content of the consultation, we proposed the following configuration.

CPU AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X 4.20GHz (boost 5.4GHz) 24C/48T
memory Total 256GB DDR5 5600 REG ECC 64GB x 4
Storage 1 1TB SSD M.2 NVMe Gen4
Storage 2 4TB SSD S-ATA
Video NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada 16GB (MiniDisplayPort x 4)
network on board (2.5GbE x 1 10GBase-T x 1) Wi-Fi
Housing + power supply Mid-tower chassis 1000W 80PLUS PLATINUM
OS Microsoft Windows 11 Professional 64bit

We proposed a workstation equipped with the latest 3 model CPU as a configuration suitable for the FLOW-2025D Windows environment.

High-clock CPU and large-capacity memory for optimal analysis performance

Since single-threaded performance is important for FLOW-3D, to increase processing powerHigh-clocked AMD CPUIs suitable.
Meet the requirementsThe 24-core Threadripper 9960X (4.20GHz) is capable of both high clock speeds and stability.Therefore, we have adopted this in the current proposed configuration.

According to the official information of FLOW-3D,1GB or more memory per coreIt is recommended to install it.
This configuration is equipped with four 64GB memory modules for a total of 4GB. With 256GB per core, sufficient memory capacity is secured, allowing for future expansion of the calculation scale.

※Notes when using FLOW-3D products in a Windows environment※

In Windows environments, significant performance degradation has been reported with AMD CPUs with more than 32 cores.
If you are considering using this software in conjunction with other software that places importance on the number of cores, please contact us.

GPU selection taking into consideration rendering processing

FLOW-3D does not support GPU-based calculations.However, the performance of the GPU will affect rendering and post-processing.
That's why we chose the RTX 2000 Ada 16GB, which offers an excellent balance of performance and stability within your budget.

Flexible system design that is resistant to configuration changes

This system is equipped with the latest generation CPU,Flexible support for future memory expansion and storage expansionAvailable

・What is FLOW-3D?

FLOW-3D is a general-purpose 3D CFD software that uses the control volume type finite difference method to analyze unsteady flows and thermal fluid problems.
It excels in high-precision simulation of free surfaces and complex fluid interfaces, and also handles phase changes, fluid-structure interactions, and multiphase flows. It is widely used in a range of applications from design to production processes.
