“MSC.Software has announced the release of its MSC.Nastran
distributed memory parallel (DMP) for Linux to rev up PC simulation
computing for engineers and manufacturers to near supercomputer
speeds.”
“With MSC.Nastran DMP on Linux, one large task can be
distributed to several PCs running in parallel, accelerating the
speed of analysis up to 20 times, hence reducing costs and
time-to-market,” said MSC spokesperson Richard Bush about the
tool’s potential impact on the design, simulation and
implementation processes.”
“According to the company, by providing a viable design
simulation tool for engineers, MSC.Nastran DMP allows manufacturers
a means to evaluate designs earlier in the development process,
saving money, time and resources. The added benefits of
distributing these workloads across multiple PCs running
simultaneously can translate in better designs and faster
implementation.”
