Computational Electromagnetics

Computational Electromagnetics (CEM) is an important tool for for development of consumer products as well as for predicting and analyzing high-frequency radar signatures. SGI's industrial and government customers ... ground vehicles. These tools are utilized to evaluate interference reduction in electronic designs for component integration and compliance with FCC standards. SGI offers two complementary server architectures: the SGI® Altix® product line based on dual-core Intel® Itanium® processors and the SGI® Altix® XE product line based on dual-core Intel® Xeon® processors. The computing capabilities of the SGI Altix and Altix XE servers combined with advanced visualization and storage technologies provide efficient and cost-effective simulation environments for these CEM applications, which enable engineering teams to improve product geometries and coating materials without having to perform experimentation on costly physical prototypes.

 Computational Fluid Dynamics

Computational Fluid Dynamics is a time-consuming and performance-intensive activity. The large global shared-memory of architecture of the SGI® Altix® product line delivers the scalability and performance required of complex physical modeling that includes multi-phase flows, chemistry, combustion, and spray. The SGI® Altix® XE servers deliver unmatched memory bandwidth for cluster performance and superior configuration flexibility for both capacity and capability. The SGI Altix and Altix XE servers running on industry standard Linux® operating systems dominate real-world application tests and provide options for complex simultions. SGI® InfiniteStorage technology delivers optimal efficiency for storing, organizing, accessing and managing data. Combining these computing and storage technologies, SGI® Solutions for CSM enable design engineers and analysis professionals to deliver superior product design more quickly by providing:

Multi-Disciplinary Simulations

Engineers and scientists simulate the physics of multi-state material flow in engine ducting, inside cooling jackets for thermal transfer as well as passenger temperature, noise and vibration. The materials used are followed from the ingot through the stamping process and into impact studies increasing occupant safety. Airbag sensors and speed of deployment are tested and reviewed against both empirical data and human dummy. Part stiffness and bending, fatigue are reviewed for material evaluation; weight reduction. Composites, alloys and plastics are studied for strength and rupture characteristics.
