As the benchmarking results in this report show, you can slash the time spent on certain simulation runs by more than 81% when you upgrade to the latest Dell workstation technology and Siemens Simcenter simulation software, compared to using older hardware and software.

New benchmarks show ANSYS release 17 performed a transient nonlinear structural analysis of an electronic ball grid array 8.3X faster than ANSYS release 13.

As the benchmarking results in this report show, Autodesk CFD 2016 running on a modern workstation with dual, multi-core processors (up to 10 cores) will run certain large-scale fluid and thermal analyses more than 9x faster than they would run on a three-year-old workstation.

A benchmarking study conducted by Altair, Intel and Dell, shows that you can speed up design optimization by 6.9X to 17X with Altair’s optimization software and Dell Precision workstations.

A benchmarking study conducted by ANSYS, Intel and Dell, reveals a 4.1x reduction in simulation run times can be achieved by using the latest Dell Precision workstations and ANSYS software, as opposed to an equivalent three-year-old system and software with the same number of cores; a 6X reduction was seen when using more computing cores.

Modern simulation software and hardware are revolutionizing the simulation-led design workflow. Benchmarks reveal up to a 6X simulation speed increase when using current COMSOL software and modern workstations.
