The Dell Validated Design for HPC Digital Manufacturing is designed specifically for CAE applications, which are commonly used for virtual product development and engineering. The solution is designed using a flexible building block architecture. This architecture allows an HPC system to be optimally configured for specific end-user requirements, while still using standardized, domain-specific system recommendations.
The building blocks consist of infrastructure servers, storage, networking, and compute servers. Configuration recommendations are provided for each of the building blocks, which are appropriate for the Ansys Fluent software application.
With this flexible building block approach, appropriately sized HPC clusters can be designed based on specific workloads and use-case requirements.
