Fovus for Computer-aided Engineering (CAE)

Turbocharge your digital innovation, accelerate engineering breakthroughs

The challenges

Today’s digital innovation requires complex CAE environments. CAE simulations are often conducted using commercial software with a fixed number of network or web licenses shared among many users. This creates challenges in managing and balancing license usage across large teams, as well as scaling cloud infrastructure according to the license availability dynamics. Also, CAE simulations often run in large batches for the design of experiments (DOE) purposes or run with a tremendous degree of freedom, creating significant challenges in determining the proper computing parallelism and HPC strategy. These intertwined challenges often lead to low license utilization, poor team productivity, long simulation runtime or slow HPC performance, and high cloud HPC costs.

How we help

Fovus offers a robust job queueing system that intelligently ranks, queues, and deploys your team’s CAE jobs according to your license availability dynamics, usage statistics, workload consumption profiles, and admin-desired usage patterns to auto-balance license usage among your team members. It maximizes your team’s productivity, avoids unnecessary cloud usage, and eliminates license-induced simulation errors.

Fovus auto-scales your DOE tasks running in parallel and the cluster size according to the license availability dynamics and admin-desired license usage patterns to maximize your teams’ overall utilization of your software licenses for efficient digital innovation.

Fovus auto-benchmarks your CAE workloads free of charge to help you effectively explore the HPC strategy space and reveal how computing parallelism and different hardware and cloud configurations impact the performance and cost of your CAE simulations.

In addition to anonymously orchestrating all the cloud logistics, Fovus auto-optimizes your HPC strategy, including computing parallelism and hardware, cluster, and cloud configurations, based on the benchmarking data to ensure you always get your simulation insights at the minimum runtime and cost, speeding up your design cycles for faster engineering breakthroughs.

Fovus auto-updates your benchmarking data as new cloud infrastructure rolls out and continuously improves your HPC strategy to ensure your team can consistently leverage state-of-the-art hardware technology to turbocharger your digital innovation and stay ahead of the curve.

Fovus intelligently auto-leverages spot instances to make your large-batch DOE simulations affordable at scale and free up your computational budgets, allowing you to achieve more with less.
