Blueprint for Interactive Virtual Wind Tunnels Enables Unprecedented Computer-Aided Engineering Exploration for Altair, Ansys, Cadence, Siemens and MoreATLANTA, Nov. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SC24 — NVIDIA today announced an NVIDIA Omniverse™ Blueprint that enables industry software developers to help their computer-aided engineering (CAE) customers in aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, energy and other industries create digital twins with real-time interactivity.Software developers such as Altair, Ansys , Cadence and Siemens can use the NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint for real-time computer-aided engineering digital twins to help their customers drive down development costs and energy usage while getting to market faster. The blueprint is a reference workflow that includes NVIDIA acceleration libraries, physics-AI frameworks and interactive physically based rendering to achieve 1,200x faster simulations and real-time visualization.“We built Omniverse so that everything can have a digital twin,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Omniverse Blueprints are reference pipelines that connect NVIDIA Omniverse with AI technologies, enabling leading CAE software developers to build groundbreaking digital twin workflows that will transform industrial digitalization, from design and manufacturing to operations, for the world’s largest industries.”One of the first applications of the blueprint is computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, a critical step to virtually explore, test and refine the designs of cars, airplanes, ships and many other products. Traditional engineering workflows — from physics simulation to visualization and design optimization — can take weeks or even months to complete.In an industry first, NVIDIA and Luminary Cloud are demonstrating at SC24 a virtual wind tunnel that allows users to simulate and visualize fluid dynamics at real-time, interactive speeds, even when changing the vehicle model inside the tunnel.Unifying Three Pillars of NVIDIA Technology for DevelopersBuilding a real-time physics digital twin requires two fundamental capabilities: real-time physics solver performance and real-time visualization of large-scale datasets.The Omniverse Blueprint achieves these by bringing together NVIDIA CUDA-X™ libraries to accelerate the solvers, the NVIDIA Modulus physics-AI framework to train and deploy models to generate flow fields, and NVIDIA Omniverse application programming interfaces for 3D data interoperability and real-time RTX-enabled visualization.Developers can integrate the blueprint as individual elements or in its entirety into their existing tools.Ecosystem Uses NVIDIA Blueprint to Advance SimulationsAnsys is the first to adopt the Omniverse Blueprint, applying it to Ansys Fluent fluid simulation software to enable accelerated CFD simulation.Ansys ran Fluent at the Texas Advanced Computing Center on 320 NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips. A 2.5-billion-cell automotive simulation was completed in just over six hours, which would have taken nearly a month running on 2,048 x86 CPU cores, significantly enhancing the feasibility of overnight high-fidelity CFD analyses and establishing a new industry benchmark.“By integrating NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint with Ansys software, we’re enabling our customers to tackle increasingly complex and detailed simulations more quickly and accurately,” said Ajei Gopal, president and CEO of Ansys

With $115 million in funding, led by Sutter Hill Ventures, the company aims to democratize computer-aided engineering, accelerating design cycles and time to marketSAN MATEO, Calif., March 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Luminary Cloud , a pioneer in realtime engineering, today announced its official launch out of stealth. A computer-aided engineering (CAE) SaaS platform, Luminary empowers smarter and faster design cycles, allowing engineers to develop better products in a fraction of the time. Backed by Sutter Hill Ventures, which led its $115 million funding, Luminary's customers span industries including aerospace and defense, automotive, sporting goods, industrial equipment, and more."While software engineering has become more agile thanks to advances in cloud technologies, physical engineering hasn't kept pace, despite increasing pressure to deliver advanced products faster and more efficiently," said Jason Lango, co-founder and CEO of Luminary Cloud. "Our platform empowers R&D teams to analyze, design, and innovate faster than they ever could before, which is crucial when facing strong and globally competitive markets that demand better products in shorter time frames. We want to change the way that engineers get their work done and help them build the products of the future."Keeping up with innovationDigital simulations are a crucial step of the R&D process, as they allow engineers to create virtual prototypes and understand how they perform in realistic environments – including considerations such as air and water flows, temperature and pressure distributions, and aerodynamic drag – and make modifications and improvements long before a physical product comes to market. Real-world testing is costly and time-consuming – when engineers are able to try multiple alternatives purely based on simulation, it decreases risk and improves product performance and quality
