ESI Group Huawei software
ESI Group, a provider of virtual prototyping software and services, has unveiled a Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) Public Cloud Solution in partnership with Huawei, an ICT solutions company.
The CAE program has been launched less than a year after the two companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding at Huawei Connect 2016 in Shanghai, China. The solution was presented at this year’s Hannover Messe, and aims to support the digital transformation in the manufacturing industries.
Designers and engineers have access to a public cloud-based CAE solution across multiple physics and engineering disciplines. It also integrates ESI’s virtual engineering solutions with Hauwei’s High Performance Computing (HPC) Infrastructures-as-a-Service capabilities through browser-based modelling, user analytics, 2D and 3D visualisation and real-time collaboration tools.
Validated on the Open Telekom Public Cloud, the joint solution already supports a variety of ESI applications for CAE, such as: Virtual Performance Solution for compute-on-demand, a general purpose Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solution based on the well-known open source solver, OpenFOAM, a sand casting vertical application powered by ESI Visual technology and ESI ProCAST and Data Analytics tool ESI MINESET. The combination enables online collaborative product development across the globe, large-scale simulations, and analysis of massive data. Customers will experience improved efficiency, cost optimisations, enhanced green credentials and other benefits.
“Huawei helps customers achieve business successes by sticking to our ‘Openness, Cooperation, Win-Win’ policy and devoting to establishing a positive cloud ecosystem,” said Sun Jiawei, Director, IT Business Development Department, Huawei. “We are delighted to work with ESI Group to jointly help develop the public cloud solution and better serve customers with greater product choice.”
Sanjay Choudhry, Vice President Cloud Business Unit at ESI comments, added: “ESI HPC/ CAE platform on the Open Telekom Cloud powered by Huawei is designed to address the complex demands of engineering organisations. The fully browser-based cloud platform solves large multi-physics problems in a highly scalable and an extremely easy-to-use environment using a workflow based approach.”
