Simcenter X HPC and remote desktop flyer

This two-page flyer describes Simcenter X - HPC and remote desktop, a cloud service managed by Siemens for running Simcenter STAR-CCM+ on virtual workstations and HPC clusters hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It explains how engineers can use cloud computing for CFD without installing, configuring or queueing for hardware.

What the document covers

• Remote desktop access that turns any device into an engineering workstation for pre- and post-processing through a web browser
• Starting a dedicated virtual HPC cluster from Simcenter STAR-CCM+ or a browser, and scaling to hundreds of cores or many designs at once
• Keeping data in the cloud to reduce transfer times, and monitoring or stopping live jobs from a mobile phone
• Security and availability, including the information security management system (ISMS) that Siemens applies to the service
• The prepaid credit model: one credit type covers hardware, software and data transfer at an hourly rate, with no upper limit on concurrent sessions
• How credits are bought and how long they remain valid

Who it is for

CFD engineers and simulation managers who need extra computing capacity for peak workloads, and teams that prefer not to own and maintain on-premises HPC hardware.
