MSC Nastran2012 harnesses Power of NVIDIA GPUs
NVIDIA has announced that MSC Software Corporation has launched a GPU-accelerated version of the MSC Nastran 2012, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) application, which is used in a wide range of engineering simulation tasks.
The new GPU-accelerated MSC Nastran 2012, available for both Windows and Linux systems, is said to deliver performance improvements of up to 5x compared with the previous version. MSC Nastran 2012 supports single and multi-GPU configurations and is available for MSC customers to download.
Dr. Ted Wertheimer, Sr. Director, Product Management, MSC Software said, "GPU-enabled performance improvements have the potential to transform engineering analysis and design-optimization procedures. CUDA-based GPU acceleration in MSC Nastran 2012 will speed up performance by 1.5-5x for a range of models and industries, helping customers improve their workflow and deliver better products to market, faster."
Andrew Cresci, GM, Strategic Alliances, NVIDIA said, "With support for single- and multi-GPU acceleration, MSC Nastran 2012 allows users to significantly reduce simulation turnaround times, create more high-fidelity simulations, and improve design quality. We are expanding our joint development with MSC to include GPU acceleration of complex math kernels, allowing us to address NVH and large dynamics problems for our customers."
