CASE STUDIES
Companies in the aerospace and automotive industries use Rescale to run faster simulations
Aerospace Case Study
A private aerospace manufacturer needed to execute more than 2,000 parallel CFD runs in order to understand various flow phenomena for a new spacecraft design in development. Using Rescale, the customer was able to:
Dynamically provision 512 cores within five minutes of job submission Run on Rescale’s end-to-end encrypted, ITAR-compliant system to ensure the highest security
Apply an internal customer simulation code across 512-processor cluster, simulating 2,000+ configurations
Reduce computing time by weeks and use Rescale’s platform to run analyses 20x more efficiently
Review post-processing results visually in a web browser to quickly choose the optimal candidate for subsequent detailed analysis
Automotive Case Study
A Tier 1 automotive supplier needed to perform a DOE to optimize the profile of a piston skirt in an internal combustion engine with the goal of minimizing power loss due to contact friction. The customer used Rescale’s on-demand platform to:
Integrate a commercial solver in order to perform a DOE for 4 load conditions each with 150+ simulations
Instantly access a 32-core cluster to simulate 672 designs for the 4 load conditions, idle, city, highway, and medium load
Reveal previously undiscovered, optimized design by simulating 150+ simulations per load case in less time than running 3-5 analyses internally
Review post-processing results visually in Rescale’s web browser to quickly select the optimal design for further analysis
Reduce simulation runtime by >90% and save over 120+ engineering hours
