Many engineers at SMEs are faced with the problem that the computing capacity at hand is quite small and very often insufficient. And as models become more complex and intricate, this issue is becoming more prominent by the day. Larger computational resources translate to higher setup and maintenance costs. Apart from this, the high licensing costs are also an obstacle to the enhancement of existing computational resources.

The past few years has seen the concept of Software as a Service (SaaS) gain ground in the field of Computer Aided Engineering. Many tools for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) now offer a cloud-based solution to users. NUMECA in co-operation with UberCloud now offers a complete suite of CFD software by means of application software containers in the cloud. This pay-per-use model gives users much larger (infinite) computational resources and a great deal of flexibility with regard to the licensing of CAE tools. It thereby eliminates overheads associated with traditional software licensing and hardware costs. Another major advantage is that the user interface of the cloud platform is very intuitive and extremely easy to operate.

A couple of case studies have been carried out by SimFWD in co-operation with NUMECA International, UberCloud and CPU 24/7 to demonstrate the pay-per-use cloud solution which provides quick and affordable access to a truly reliable simulation platform for FINE/Marine enabling engineers to create smooth workflows for complex hydrodynamic computations.
