Engineering teams are under increasing pressure to deliver high-performance, cost-effective, and reliable products on faster turnarounds than ever before. From aerospace to automotive, electronics to energy, innovation depends not only on creative thinking and design expertise but also on the ability to simulate, test, and iterate quickly and accurately.
According to a recent Ansys Study on High-Performance Computing Usage for Engineering Simulation, 64% of companies are exploring, transitioning, or have completed the transition to using cloud-based engineering applications.
Enter Ansys HPC and Ansys Cloud: technologies that revolutionize simulation by enabling engineers to scale workloads, accelerate time-to-solution, and collaborate seamlessly across geographies.
Ansys HPC and Ansys Cloud capabilities unlock a new level of productivity, allowing engineers to focus on solving complex challenges rather than waiting on compute capacity. Let’s take a closer look at five key ways these powerful tools boost engineering efficiency, transforming how simulation supports design and innovation.
1. Drastically Reduce Simulation Time
One of the most immediate benefits of Ansys HPC is the ability to run simulations in parallel, significantly reducing the time required to complete high-fidelity models. Instead of waiting hours, or even days, for a single scenario to process on a desktop workstation, engineers can leverage multi-core and multi-node processing to achieve results in a fraction of the time.
This advantage is especially critical when dealing with:
- Large finite element (FEA) models with millions of nodes.
- Complex CFD cases involving turbulent flow, heat transfer, or transient conditions.
- High-frequency electromagnetic simulations with detailed geometry and meshing.
By shortening simulation runtimes, teams can perform more iterations, explore more design alternatives, and make better decisions earlier in the product development cycle.
2. Run More Simulations, Concurrently
Innovation thrives on iteration. Whether you’re conducting design of experiments (DOE), sensitivity analysis, or parameter sweeps, the ability to run multiple simulations simultaneously is a game changer.
Ansys Cloud makes this possible by offering elastic compute capacity — meaning you can spin up as many simulation jobs as your project requires, all without overloading your local machines. This capability empowers engineering teams to:
- Conduct comprehensive multi-variable optimizations.
- Explore a wider design space with faster feedback loops.
- Meet tight project deadlines by parallelizing validation tasks.
Such concurrency not only boosts speed but also improves design confidence, as more thorough exploration leads to more robust products. By leveraging Ansys Cloud’s scalable compute power, engineering teams can push the boundaries of innovation without sacrificing speed, accuracy, or project timelines.
3. Access Scalable Resources Without IT Constraints
One of the biggest roadblocks to simulation scalability is hardware availability. Not all organizations have the budget, space, or IT infrastructure to maintain a high-performance on-premises cluster. Ansys Cloud solves this problem by providing on-demand access to scalable compute resources, directly from within the Ansys user interface.
With Ansys Cloud, engineers gain:
- Access to high-performance servers with GPU acceleration and optimized architecture.
- Preconfigured environments for Ansys solvers; no manual setup required.
- Secure cloud storage and data encryption for peace of mind.
This setup removes the traditional bottlenecks of hardware acquisition and IT overhead, letting engineering teams scale up instantly as their projects demand.
4. Ansys HPC Supports Ultra-High-Fidelity, Multiphysics Simulations
Modern engineering problems are rarely one-dimensional. From electric vehicle batteries to aerospace propulsion systems, product performance depends on the interaction of multiple physical phenomena.
Ansys HPC and cloud capabilities make it feasible to run multiphysics simulations that couple structural, thermal, fluid, and electromagnetic domains without sacrificing accuracy or resolution. Examples include:
- Thermal-stress simulations in electronics and power systems.
- Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in aerospace components.
- Electromagnetic-thermal coupling for antenna and motor design.
Running these high-fidelity models requires serious computational horsepower — something Ansys HPC and cloud deliver effortlessly, making multiphysics simulation part of your standard workflow, and not a special exception.
5. Enable Remote Collaboration and Workflow Flexibility
In an increasingly remote and globally distributed engineering world, collaboration is key. Ansys Cloud facilitates secure, centralized access to simulation environments and results, enabling teams across geographies to:
- Share simulation data in real-time.
- Maintain version control across different users.
- Access and run simulations without needing local hardware resources.
This cloud-first approach not only accelerates collaboration but also supports business continuity, giving teams the flexibility to work efficiently from anywhere, anytime. Read more about
