With each new release, we try to provide feedback regarding machines that utilize Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight and the efficiency with which they are able to analyze models. The goal is to give users a sense of how different hardware configurations do with different models. This helps give feedback on configurations that are able to run Moldflow, and those that are able to run Moldflow at a level higher than others. Below are details around machines added for the 2013 release, as well as the conditions of the benchmarking certification.
Thirty six models of varying 3D mesh sizes (87,000-1,600,000) were analyzed to calculate time-to-solution on a broad spectrum of usage. The time-to-solution represents the total wall clock time required by a specific machine to complete all thirty six analyses. To ensure accuracy with these calculations, analyses were run one at a time with no other CPU-intensive or GPU-intensive programs were being run. The UI interaction is a measure of viewing the mesh, viewing results, and interacting with other graphical features.
NOTE: Models run in 2013 won't always be faster then those run in 2012. With the 2013 release a large portion of development was done around solver accuracy and as such to achieve this, it is possible to see longer analyses times because of this improvement to accuracy.
