EDRMedeso Fluent CloudConnect Documentation
CloudConnect for Ansys Fluent is an extension to the Fluent ribbon menu that enables easy cloud solving on Rescale from within the Fluent user interface.
Why CloudConnect?
Our Ansys users say they are hesitant to adopt HPC in the cloud for two main reasons.
- The workflows are too cumbersome. Any possible advantage is destroyed by having to perform dozens of manual steps.
- The cloud platform is unreliable or missing functionality.
The Implications
Companies are not adopting the cloud.
- More than 40% of Ansys user base runs exclusively on a laptop/desktop.
- Engineers “cutting corners” due to compute limitations.
- Lost investment in cloud-first strategy.
- Solving on a local PC with 8 CPUs takes 10x longer than solving with 108 CPUs in the cloud.
CloudConnect has both Scale and Ease-of-Use
CloudConnect is the only solution that delivers on all key metrics.
- Ease of adoption without changing current workflows in Fluent GUI.
- Unlimited scalability for computational power.
- Business administration ready and 100% control through Rescale budgets.
