Case Study: CAE Technology cuts CFD setup and simulation time by 50% with Microsoft Azure HPC and UberCloud containers

CFD setup and computational time cut 50 percent

Microsoft Corporation worked with CAE Technology, a global engineering services firm, to address the challenge of lengthy computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation times. The company's engineers were running these complex simulations on desktop workstations, a process that could take hours or even days, which hindered their ability to efficiently serve their clients in the automotive and aerospace industries.

The solution involved running the CFD software STAR-CCM+ within an UberCloud container on a high-performance computing cluster from Microsoft Azure, which is powered by Intel Xeon processors. This approach dramatically accelerated the process. Microsoft's Azure HPC resources enabled CAE Technology to cut the overall setup and computational time for their simulations by 50 percent, significantly speeding up their project delivery for time-sensitive client work.
