ANSYS Workbench Plugin
The GC-Grid Plugin for ANSYS Workbench is a perfect example of E-Gompute's flexibility to let third party applications plugin into it. This plugin developed by Gridcore AB lets users of ANSYS workbench harness the power of their compute resources from within ANSYS workbench. The plugin hides the complexities of cluster architectures and scheduler complexity from the users of ANSYS Workbench, letting them access either their Linux or Windows CCS based compute resources. The plugin handles all the data management and solution retrieval within ANSYS workbench. This way the users of ANSYS Workbench can continue running it on their light weight workstations or laptops, but send their solving process to the compute resource of their choice.
Feature Highlights
| Feature | Description | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Integrated Into ANSYS Workbench | The plugin is integrated into the ANSYS Workbench UI. | Continue to use the familiar ANSYS Workbench UI but get the additional option to send your solve to GC-Grid. |
| Data Management | The plugin automatically creates the solver input file from the ANSYS Workbench model, stages it into the compute resource before starting the solver, and gets the results back after the solving process. | The user can continue working with ANSYS Workbench in their usual way, at the same time harness the power of GC-Grid. |
| Choose Your Compute Resource | Users can select one of the compute resource from their E-Gompute environment to run their solver on. | Have the freedom to choose the compute resource which you think is best suited for the case. Choose from a heterogenous E-Gompute environment and have complete control of where you run the solver. |
