4th June 2021 2:51 pm 4th June 2021 2:51 pm High performance computing (HPC), once limited to large-scale applications in the automotive, aerospace and defence sectors, is rapidly becoming a fixture in the engineering simulation product design cycle, says Andrew Dean, sales director at OCF. Once limited to large-scale applications in the automotive, aerospace and defence sectors, over recent years engineering simulation is increasingly being applied to smaller scale, but no less valuable, R&D challenges. As customers demand higher quality products and more choice, companies are having to respond with faster, lower cost prototyping and design, all delivered on time and within budget. To help meet this challenge high performance computing (HPC) is rapidly becoming a fixture in the engineering simulation product design cycle.
