Audi uses VPP5000 for CAE applications

Muenchen 17 Mar 00 Recently the VPP5000 system at Audi started production. Last year Audi decided to upgrade their existing VPP resource. The new system, a VPP5000 with 4 processors primarily will be used for inner flow simulations which are performed with STAR-CD, a CFD package that is developed and marketed by Computational Dynamics. The VPP5000 will be used for crash simulations as well as for structural analysis as well. Here the underlying application packages are ESI/PAM-CRASH and MSC/NASTRAN. The VPP5000 is the most recent product line of Fujitsu Siemens vector parallel processors.
