1 AKSELOS CLOUD- BASED FEA Application Note

2 Akselos Cloudbased FEA OVERVIEW Akselos Integra offers a scalable, cloud-based FEA that allows users to test, validate, and optimize their designs in a faster and more cost-efficient way. Akselos FEA offers powerful and complete solutions for both routine and sophisticated engineering problems that cover a spectrum of industrial applications. Akselos FEA uses a scalable infrastructure that is based on high-performance computing (HPC) in the cloud. This provides a powerful FEA solver platform with no in-house IT overhead. CAPABILITIES BENEFITS Cloud-based HPC enables highly scalable parallel computation for fast and efficient analysis of large-scale problems. Compatible with CAD-based ing workflows using tools like Spaceclaim, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Catia V5 AND V6, Autodesk Naviswork, and AUTODESK Inventor. Compatible with Abaqus, Nastran, and ExodusII mesh formats. Improve collaboration and productivity by performing simulations in the cloud, which is always available, with more than 99.9 percent uptime. Perform complex linear and nonlinear analysis of large-scale problems, beyond what would be possible on desktop workstations. Reduce administrative and maintenance costs by eliminating the need for in-house IT overhead when installing or updating Akselos FEA license.

3 ADVANCED ANALYSIS Linear static, dynamic, thermoelastic and rotational/centrifugal analysis Modal / frequency analysis Acoustics analysis Full range of nonlinear analysis VISUALIZATION CAPABILITIES The comprehensive set of visualization capabilities in Akselos Modeler, which is the user interface of Akselos Integra, helps users interpret and communicate data and analysis results. Very large, complex s can be visualized using a range of options. Akselos Modeler enables users to inspect s at specific nodes, view defined slices and export slices for further post-processing.

4 Comparing RB-FEA with FEA ANALYZING COMPLEX AND LARGE MODELS Akselos cloud-based FEA has been designed to analyze s of any size. However, solve times and memory requirements grow rapidly for extremely complex and large s, which limits the size any given workstation can solve. Akselos Integra offers the Reduced Basis Finite Element Analysis (RB-FEA) technology that streamlines the analysis workflow for large and complex s, saving time and reducing costs. The key idea is to break the structure into smaller pieces that we call components. A reduced-order is automatically trained for each component. The reduced order s at the component level may then be combined into a single, global that can be solved orders of magnitude faster than FEA. WORKFLOW COMPARISON How does RB-FEA compare with the FEA workflow? Here s an example of a wind CAD turbine that was ed using RB-FEA and FEA to demonstrate the differences Divide CAD into smaller components in the workflow and the speedup that is achieved with RB-FEA.
