Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Cloud HPC Credits on Simcenter X
Run Simcenter STAR-CCM+ on Siemens-managed cloud HPC, with no hardware to buy or maintain. Simcenter X credits are pre-paid and used up as your simulations run, so you only pay for the compute you use.
Start with the Simcenter X Starter Pack (1,000 credits, valid 12 months), then add 1,000 / 50,000 / 100,000 credit packs as you need them.
Stop letting complexity stall your pipeline. With Simcenter X, you gain the predictive power to solve your toughest problems, mitigate risk, and bring innovations to market faster.
Simcenter X is Siemens’ cloud-based simulation platform. With Simcenter X cloud HPC credits, you run Simcenter STAR-CCM+ directly on Siemens-managed infrastructure and get instant access to on-demand compute for large and complex CFD simulations. Cloud HPC through Simcenter X is currently available for CFD only.
Prefer to run on your own hardware? Simcenter X Advanced pairs named-user seats with a shared pool of floating tokens that unlock STAR-CCM+ solvers on your own machines. Ask us about Simcenter X Advanced.
Package Description:
Elevate your CFD simulations with cloud high-performance computing (HPC) and a remote desktop using Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure, configured and managed by Siemens, with no additional setup needed.
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Cloud HPC Credits on Simcenter X: Start with the Simcenter X Starter Pack, which includes 1,000 credits valid for 12 months, then add 1,000, 50,000 or 100,000 credit packs as your needs grow. Credits are pre-paid and used up as your simulations run. With elastic cloud capacity, you can scale up to model more complexity and get results faster, or scale out to explore more design possibilities, all on optimized hardware managed by Siemens. See how Hypersonix used it.
Simcenter X integrates with Teamcenter Share, a cloud-based collaboration solution, for secure and accessible file storage and organization. You can share simulation files, monitor job progress, and message team members within the platform, making it easy to collaborate with colleagues, partners, and customers regardless of location.
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is one of the few CFD software programs that scales efficiently to tens of thousands of cores, so a simulation can finish in a small fraction of the time on a thousand cores compared with ten. 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.
The platform also incorporates Siemens and AWS best practices for security and data privacy.
In essence, Simcenter X shifts the focus from managing on-premise HPC infrastructure to a flexible, accessible cloud-based approach, powered by pre-paid, usage-based credits that let you scale and accelerate your Simcenter STAR-CCM+ simulation workflows.

Key Features:
Cloud-Based HPC: Simcenter X provides access to a virtual HPC cluster in the cloud, eliminating the need for on-premise hardware setup and management.
Simcenter X Credits: Licensing is based on Simcenter X credits, which are consumed based on the usage of HPC resources for running simulations. Your first purchase is the Starter Pack, and its credits are valid for 12 months.
Flexible and Scalable: Users can scale up or down their compute resources as needed, allowing them to handle variable simulation workloads and complex models.
On-Demand Access: Simcenter X offers instant access to cloud HPC capacity, enabling users to run simulations without waiting for resources.
Simplified Workflow: Simulations can be initiated directly from within the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ environment with minimal setup required, or via a web browser, even on mobile.
Cost-Effective for Variable Needs: The pay-as-you-use pricing based on credits can be more cost-effective for organizations with fluctuating simulation demands compared to traditional licensing models.
CFD Only: Cloud HPC through Simcenter X currently supports Simcenter STAR-CCM+.
