Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is a multiphysics CFD software enabling simulation engineers to model the complexity and explore the possibilities of products operating under real-world conditions.
Package Description:
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Power on Demand (STAR1003A) includes:
A Power on Demand (PoD) License of Simcenter STAR-CCM+: Allows an unlimited number of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ sessions to be open, with each able to use an unlimited number of CPU or GPU cores at an authorized site. Each session includes all pre- and post-processing functionalities, as well as the full range of multiphysics capabilities and may be run interactively or in batch on local or remote compute resources. Each session debits from the bank account of hours purchased as long as the instance is open.
Why Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Power Session?
High-Performance Computing (HPC) accelerates the pace of product development, but the cost of software has become the limiting factor in its use. The STAR-CCM+ Power on Demand license allows user to deploy all of their available hardware resources at a fixed, per-hour price.
STAR-CCM+ is one of the few CFD software programs that scales beautifully all the way up to tens of thousands of CPU and/or GPU cores, meaning your simulations can be done in 1% of the time when running on one thousand cores versus ten cores. Faster simulations allow engineers to focus more on design exploration and less on waiting for results, enabling a more effective and shorter product development cycle.
In essence, a STAR-CCM+ Power on Demand license offers a powerful and flexible licensing option for high-performance computing, enabling users to leverage unlimited computing resources to accelerate their simulation workflows and improve product design outcomes.
Key Features:
With PoD, you are provided with a pool of hours to use within a year, and the cost is based on the actual usage of those hours, making it suitable for occasional large-scale simulations or those with variable resource needs.
PoD allows you to use any number of cores for a simulation, but the hour consumption is independent of the core count, meaning that 1 simulation run on 1 core consumes hours at the same rate as 1 simulation run on 1000 cores.
PoD provides flexibility in accessing high-performance computing resources without the commitment of a full Power Session license, making it cost-effective for projects requiring occasional bursts of large-scale simulations.
PoD is well-suited for organizations with fluctuating simulation workloads, allowing them to scale their computing resources up or down as needed without long-term licensing commitments.
