COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Joining high performance computing(HPC) applications with small- and medium-sized companies is one step closerto reality as the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) and the Edison WeldingInstitute (EWI) announced a partnership agreement today. As part of itsinnovative Blue Collar Computing initiative, OSC will provide remote portalaccess of HPC systems and software to EWI welding applications -- a tremendouscost-saving resource that will reach engineers at over 200 companies.
Welding involves the complex interactions of a high number of physical processes. Integrated numerical simulation tools are needed to improve the performance of welded structures. Through OSC's HPC application interface, engineers will easily be able to input product dimensions, welding process parameters and other specifications to conduct complete online simulations of welding procedures to determine the strength and viability of its prototypes.
"This is a real breakthrough for our clients that lack the fundamental data and computing horsepower needed to develop digital simulations," said Henry Cialone, president and CEO of EWI. "This new interface will help manufacturing engineers eliminate...
