Faster finite element analyses
Barry Davidson, a mechanical and aerospace engineering professor in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, is working with apprenticed graduate students to perform finite element analyses. His team first utilized a dedicated quad core server, which required two hours to complete each run. They transitioned to OG and AVHE and decreased run-times from two hours to just 10 minutes.
