Dear All,
I will be using Comsol Multi-physics or Adina to simulate Fluid-structure Interactions (strongly coupled) and I will start with a 2D-3D Karman street simulation (probably turbulent later). Then continue with an elastic fiber Fluid-structure Interactions simulations. I have got an offer which is: 1 x CELSIUS R650 2 x Quad-Core Xeon X5460 3.16GHz 2x6MB 1333 4 x 4GB FB-DIMM PC2-5300 ECC (2x 2GB) 1 x NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 1.5GB 1 x Second NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 1.5GB 3 x HDD SAS 300GB 15k 1 x HDD SATA II 750GB 7.2k business-critical [Around 6,500 Euro] Is this a good workstation to simulate such systems? (fsi scales are 1cm x 5cm x 40cm) Do you recommend a better system than this? Eagerly looking forward to your responses. |

Is dual graphics-card really needed?
Can you utilize all cores with Comsol or Adina? |

Hi F.P.,
Comsol can use multi-core since version 3.4. Adina I don't know yet (trial cds on the way) Graphic cards will be used for another 3D visualization software called Imaris (for another college) Cheers Danial |

The system will be much too noisy if you want to have it in the same room. Wrong HDDs and wrong graphics.
