Sun and ANSYS

Sun Microsystems has a comprehensive portfolio of products, solutions, and services utilized for the deployment of ANSYS High Performance Computing applications. ANSYS applications running on a Sun infrastructure will help you get a step ahead of the competition and enable you to access increased computational capability for your most demanding challenges.

ANSYS develops, markets, and supports engineering simulation software used to predict how product designs will operate and how manufacturing processes will behave in real-world environments. The Company continually advances simulation solutions by integrating software into a unified and customizable simulation platform that allows engineers to efficiently perform complex simulations involving the interaction of multiple physics so engineers and product developers can spend more time designing and improving products and less time using software and searching for data.

Alliance Overview

The ANSYS software includes a family of "Enterprise Solutions" for the design and analysis of multiphysical engineering problems. ANSYS products are used for the simulation of structural, thermal, and mechanical effects in a physical model.

ANSYS supports Sun Solaris on all UltraSPARC processors and with a 64-bit version that has been architected for improved performance on UltraSPARC III and IV. ANSYS developers have also worked with Sun Market Development Engineering staff investigating alternatives for sparse solvers and compiler optimizations. All results are validated with real applications.
