Workstation for Abaqus
Workstation for Abaqus
(OP)
I am looking to put together a system dedicated to abaqus 6.12-3 (maybe $5-6k) using gpgpu computation. What should I know? Is there any additional licensing or will it just recognize my card and allow me to check off 'Use GPGPU Acceleration'? And do the cards have to be of a certain list only (Quadro 6000, maybe K4000, K5000?, Teslas)? It would be nice to be able to test this out with a cheaper GPU before buying all the high end equipment.





RE: Workstation for Abaqus
you need +1 licence for the gpu, but this can be taken from your normal licence group.
You can also see if your simulation would speed up at

The Abaqus representatives keep going on about it though. On the website in the post above you can run your simulation to try out the speedup you would get.

I'm interested in accelerating my analysis with a GPU also. Ideally I would like to use the Tesla K20 GPU, but I have nearly exhausted my research budget. Do you think the NVIDIA Geforce GTX Titan would work well? It is CUDA enabled and has similar hardware to the Tesla.
Thanks,
Amy
