Case Study: American Axle & Manufacturing achieves faster, more efficient CAE simulation with Rescale

American Axle & Manufacturing scales CAE simulation on Rescale with 32 to 150-core runs

American Axle & Manufacturing, a leading global Tier 1 automotive supplier, faced a challenge with the scalability of its on-premises high-performance computing resources. Their in-house server with 64 cores was insufficient for running the complex, multi-physics computational fluid dynamics simulations needed to optimize product designs, which often required running numerous jobs in parallel under tight deadlines.

Rescale provided an on-demand cloud HPC solution that offered near-infinite scalability. A key factor in their choice was Rescale's Power-on-Demand license for STAR-CCM+ software, which allowed for efficient and cost-effective use of both software and hardware resources. This solution gave American Axle & Manufacturing the flexibility to run multiple simulations in parallel, drastically reducing the time to deliver urgent results and making their CAE simulation process significantly more efficient.
