This Topic is to discuss following questions:
What Hardware is best suited for Hypermesh / Radioss work frame in order to produce fast results. Following questions specify this question:
a) What Processors should one use best. Which Socket is more efficient
/emoticons/default_cool.png' alt='B)'> Some thing on Motherboards
c) RAM: More is better, but which frequencies are supported for the solvers: 1600mhz and above interesting?
d) Graphic Cards. As it sais somewhere, the more consumer related Cards like GTX Series from Geforce are not fully supported in Hypermesh. Is this an issue?
e) Cooling Aspects: Does Water Cooling affect solving time? Over-clocking useful?
This all points somehow to the discussion: Build your own Workstation Computer for FEM - Analysis or is the consumer Computer suited enough for the task?
As a reference consumer Pc, the following data can serve:
Motherboard: Asus Republic of Gamers FORMULA V
Processor: i5-3750k; 3,4Ghz; Air Cooled; Socket: 1155
Ram: Corsaier 4x4Gb 1600Mhz
Hyperworks on SSD Drive
The aim of this post is to give a guideline on how to optimize the hardware aspects of the system doing the FEM-Analysis, now and as a glance into the future: for further versions of Hyperworks with even more multi core support; better memory usage etc.
Thanks for all, who contribute to this.
