Ansys Cloud Direct

What is Ansys Cloud Direct?

Engineering simulation has long been constrained by fixed computing resources available on a desktop or cluster. Ansys Cloud Direct provides access to on-demand, cloud-based computing resources, including both interactive workstations and HPC clusters, for faster, high-fidelity results offering greater performance insight. Ansys Cloud Direct increases simulation throughput by removing the hardware barrier. Ansys Cloud Direct is a scalable and cost-effective approach to HPC in the cloud. To leverage the combined benefits of cloud computing and best-in-class engineering simulation, Ansys partnered with Microsoft Azure to create a secure cloud solution. Within Ansys Mechanical, Ansys Fluent, Ansys Electronics Desktop, Ansys SPEOS, Ansys Discovery, Ansys LS-Dyna, Ansys LST, Ansys CFX and Ansys Lumerical, you can easily access HPC in the cloud directly from the applications running on your desktop. A broader suite of applications can be run interactively in the cloud via your web browser without the need for additional setup. Access the hardware and software you need, when you need it, and pay only for what you use
