Autodesk Increases Simulation Power through Cloud Computing

By Erin WeaverAutodesk has released Autodesk Simulation 360, the first simulation software on a “cloud”-based, pay-as-you-go model. The platform offers design and engineering tools for complex simulations, such as designing a building for resilience in the face of cyclic stresses, wind, or earthquakes, or predicting the occupant experience of solar heating. Multiple what-if scenarios may be run in parallel, an operation requiring large amounts of processing power; Autodesk Simulation 360’s reliance on off-site servers available through cloud computing should reduce the time needed, as well as upfront investments in hardware, and make complex simulations more widely available.
