Case Study: Spike Aerospace accelerates CFD simulations and cuts costs with Rescale

Spike Aerospace moves 100% of CFD simulations to Rescale's cloud in weeks

Spike Aerospace, a firm developing a supersonic business jet, faced the challenge of running hundreds of complex CFD simulations. These simulations were computationally intensive and traditionally required a prohibitive investment in on-premise infrastructure, expensive software licenses, and significant runtime. To overcome this without major capital expenditure, they partnered with vendor Rescale to migrate their entire CFD process to the cloud.

Using Rescale's platform with natively-integrated STAR-CCM+ software, Spike Aerospace ran its simulations on scalable cloud hardware. The solution delivered massive cost and time savings by eliminating fixed infrastructure costs through a pay-as-you-go model and dramatically reducing job runtimes. This allowed the lean team to accelerate product development, collaborate in real-time, and focus on design while Rescale ensured data security.
