Heavily used computer-aided engineering applications for product design and manufacturing processes (HPC key technology)
Simulation as opposed to physical testing to reduce time to market through shortened design cycles while reducing development costs and delivering safer products to customers
aerospace, automotive, consumer products, heavy industries, tire manufacturers, and electronics/semiconductor manufacturers
Automotive: simulating crashes, structural analysis of noise, vibration, hardness, and stress, fluid-dynamics product design
Aerospace: computational fluid-dynamics-based aerodynamics simulations and virtual prototyping
