7 Integrated capabilities — from HPC enablers to design exploration tools — expedite breakthrough productivity. Parallel Scalability Fluent's parallel scaling capabilities ensure that your simulation efficiently utilizes networks of homogenous or heterogeneous processors. Dynamic and physics-based load balancing technologies automatically detect and analyze parallel performance and adjust the distribution of computational cells among the different processors to maximize computation speed. Customization ANSYS Fluent is readily customizable and extensible. For example, you can implement your own specialty physics or tailor and script the user environment to implement best practices or further automate your workflow. Design Exploration and Optimization To increase simulation throughput, Fluent allows automatic investigation of multiple, parametric design variations — all without any programming. The ANSYS integrated solution for design of experiments provides for easy analysis of thousands of data points in a single user environment. Which parameters is your design most sensitive to? Which design parameters require the tightest control? Fluent leads you to the answer via integrated tools for design optimization and Six Sigma analysis. Our CFD tools delivered insight into better tem- perature control in a data center. Based on simu- lation results, a simple alteration to the room helped to maintain the appropriate temperature and save energy. Aerodynamic simulation of a yacht model with more than a million cells was achieved using HPC capabilities. "Using the Fluent UDF capability, our research team auto- mated the process of averaging three-dimensional temperature and oxygen mole fraction data from the shell-side simulation and mapping it onto the tube-side band mesh."
