Integrate our cloud HPC into your simulation software. We strive for efficiency and simplicity!
Cloud computing is the way through which we want to deliver complex hardware systems dedicated to engineering simulations. We at CFD FEA SERVICE have created an innovative cloud High Performance Computing (HPC) system for the Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) world.
Thanks to this cloud HPC you can use the power of a cluster to run your engineering analyses, may them be CFD, FEM, FEA and many more. The system allows you to select machines in terms of available vCPU and RAM to solve the case under study.
If you are you looking for an answer to your fluctuating hardware resource requirements, if you would you like to enjoy pay-per-use pricing and you need to scale your computational capacity then CFD FEA SERVICE cloud HPC service has you covered: use our system to enjoy 360° services from cloud resources and clusters to web accessibility with a wide range of integrated and always up to date softwares.
A wide range of software is available directly using the cloud HPC system. New versions and updates are constantly added by our IT team so you can just enjoy the power of the cloud cluster and take advantage of your simulation and analisys.
The pricing scheme is the simplest possible for a cloud HPC application. The base unit is the vCPU/Hour – so a unit which refers to the harware computing power allocated for every hour you use it. There are three standard models that differenciate the vCPU/Hour cost depending on the RAM allocated.
Beyond the vCPU/Hours computation, there are no other costs involved with the cloudHPC: so storage is completely free as well as data transfer (upload/download).
The user can choose between two types of instances: REG or PRE. PRE instances are excess power computing to which users may access with discount. While REG instances are exclusively used for the analysis, PRE machines can be restarted at any time during the calculation (usually 2-3 times every 24 hours). After the machine reboots, the simulation restarts automatically from the last saved restart file. More information available in this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYfvGqfBqqI
| Unit | RAM per vCPU | REG Unit price | PRE* Unit price |
|---|---|---|---|
| vCPU/Hour | highcpu – 1.00 GB RAM | 0.08 € | 0.04 € |
| vCPU/Hour | standard – 4.00 GB RAM | 0.10 € | 0.05 € |
| vCPU/Hour | highmem – 8.00 GB RAM | 0.12 € | 0.06 € |
| Unit | RAM per CORE | REG Unit price | PRE* Unit price |
|---|---|---|---|
| CORE/Hour | highcore – 2.00 GB RAM | 0.10 € | 0.05 € |
High use discounts are automatic discounts for running specific amounts of use in our cloud HPC platform every single month. Depeding on the montly turnover in terms of €uro spent on the platform, a progressive discount percentage is applied on the total amount. This percentage increases with the turnover on the platform for each moth and ranges from 0% to 30%.
The procedure to evaluate and to apply the discount is the following:
For specific software on demand an extra cost is applied to consider the licence cost of the software. These amounts are not considered in computing the turn-over for the progressing discount.

Blender is a free and multiplatform software for modeling, rigging, video editing, 2D and 3D rendering; among the many features it also allows for running simulations of fluids, coatings, particles and other non-linear elements. It is available for a range of OS: Microsoft Windows, macOS, GNU / Linux, along with unofficial ports as well. In terms of complexity, Blender is equipped with a robust set of features that match it to other well-known 3D modeling programs such as Softimage XSI, Cinema 4D and Maya.
CalculiX is a free and open source software for the analysis and simulation of finite elements; an application that uses an input data format similar to the ABAQUS software. It has an implicit and explicit solver (CCX) written by Guido Dhondt and a pre and post processor (CGX) written by Klaus Wittig. The software was originally written for Linux then Convergent Mechanical Solutions ported it to the Windows. Thanks to Calculix it is possible to run FEA (Finite Element Analysis) using cloud parallelization.
