What we do:
What you need:
(CFD hardware breakdown)
The more clusters you have the more CFD simulations you can run in a day and the faster they will complete
Provides a Linux work area for CAD software as well as for pre and post-processing and job scheduling. Suitable for individuals or teams. Graphic card included.
Access like a shared drive, this is used to store all the simulation data.

CFD optimised hardware.
See which of our packages below best suits your CFD needs.
Please select the type of CFD software you use.
CFD Licensed Software
Speed optimised
You will need our speed optimised clusters, these clusters use the 9004 series.
This powerful series allows for more simulations to be run per day and so getting more simulations out of your license.
Of course if you use OpenFOAM but want faster simulations then this is also a good option.
OpenFOAM Software
Cost optimised
Cost optimised clusters using the 7003 series is the best option for you.
This series is cost optimised, with simulations running slightly slower than the 9004 series but the cost of the hardware is significantly lower.

Workstations
Fully customisable to your needs.
There are many applications for a workstation, ranging from a single user Linux to an eight person hypervised Linux workstation.
A workstation can also be used for:
- hosting your job scheduler,
- a GPU powered pre and post-processing workstation for your simulations,
- a Linux work area for CAD,
- hosting storage,
- providing a high-powered remote desktop environment.
