• ISV Application Description
ANSYS 12.0 software is a comprehensive multiphysics tool combining structural, thermal, fluids, acoustic and electromagnetic simulation capabilities in a single engineering software solution. Its comprehensive range of physical models can be applied to simulation-based product development in a broad range of industries and applications.
• Benchmark description
The benchmark uses a FEA model with 1.5 million degrees of freedom to extract 50 dynamic mode frequencies and mode shapes using block Lanczos solver. The workload is IO-intensive with limited scaling. The results are based on 4-process parallel execution; see backup slides for details.
