Hi Community! Would love to get your thoughts on what type of system you recommend I build to optimize Hyperworks. Money and level of expertise is not a consideration in this exercise. I'm sure running things on GPUs is a no brainer (or is it?!). Do you have any other recommendations? Linux vs Windows? AMD vs Intel? Is there a ''dream system'' that someone has put together? I couldn't find much info (let alone benchmarks) besides minimum requirements and recommended/certified systems:
Minimum Operating System Requirements
Hardware Recommendations and Certifications
Your chosen engineering domain/solver would play a part here, a machine ideal for FE, may be not as good for CFD or pre-post
I'm most familiar with the Structural Solvers:
Radioss, which is typically CPU Hungry, the more the better, and it runs slightly quicker on Linux than Windows typically (and it can't use GPU). So a multi CPU core node or nodes to run models in parallel. And SSDs for storage/scratch, maybe a big platter drive too for longer term storage. Since OpenRadioss was released, there are some public benchmarks starting to be posted here: openbenchmarking.org since it is mostly the same source code as Altair Radioss, the hardware that does well there would be similarly good with Altair Radioss.
Optistruct, is typically Memory Hungry, the more the better, and it can make use of GPU for some solution sequences. Again SSDs for running jobs.
I'm not familiar with the hardware requirements for the CFD or EM, or DEM solver products, but I think they are able to utilise GPU more than the structural solvers.
For Pre-Post, I'd want Windows for that I think (though Linux is supported, Windows is the 'norm') and plenty of memory and a powerful supported Graphics Card.
