15 Robustness Evaluation Input parameters have variation! Make sure your design is robust! Six Sigma, TQM Output parameters vary also! 16 Understand how your performance will vary with your design tolerances? Predict how many parts will likely fail? Understand which inputs require the greatest control?

17 Example 2: Combustor 3 parameters Diffuser Length Exit Height Outlet Minimize pressure loss Outlet Minimize mach number Outlet Inlet Dump Gap Sensitivity 18
18 Mesh Morphing and Optimizer 19
19 Fluent Morpher-Optimization Feature Allows users to optimize product design based on shape deformation to achieve design objective Based on free-form deformation tool coupled with various optimization methods 20
20 Mesh Morphing Applies a geometric design change directly to the mesh in the solver Uses a Bernstein polynomial-based morphing scheme Freeform mesh deformation defined on a matrix of control points leads to a smooth deformation Works on all mesh types (Tet/Prism, CutCell, HexaCore, Polyhedral) User prescribes the scale and direction of deformations to control points distributed evenly through the rectilinear region. 21
21 Process What if? Setup Case Run Setup Morph Morph Evaluate OR Regions Parameters Deformation Optimizer Optimizer Setup Case Run Setup Optimizer Optimize Auto 22 Choose best design Optimal Solution
22 Deformation Definition Define constraint(s) (if any) Select control points and prescribe the relative ranges of motion 23
23 Objective Function Objective Function: Equal flow rate Baseline Design Optimized Design 24
24 Optimizer Algorithms; Compass, Powell, Rosenbrock, Simplex, Torczon Auto Optimize! 25
25 Example: L-Shaped Duct Application: L-shaped duct Objective Function: Uniform flow at the outlet Significant Improvement in Flow Uniformity 26
26 RBF Morph 27
27 RBF Morph Features The user-friendly RBF Morph add-on module is fully integrated within Fluent (GUI, TUI & solving stage) and Workbench Mesh-independent RBF fit used for surface mesh morphing and volume mesh smoothing Parallel calculation allows to morph large size models (many millions of cells) in a short time Management of every kind of mesh element type (tetrahedral, hexahedral, polyhedral, etc.) Ability to convert morphed mesh surfaces back into CAD Multi fit makes the Fluent case truly parametric (only 1 mesh is stored) Precision: exact nodal movement and exact feature preservation. 28
28 How Does RBF-Morph work? A system of radial functions is used to fit a solution for the mesh movement/morphing, from a list of source points and their prescribed displacements Radial Basis Function interpolation is used to derive the displacement at any location in the space The RBF problem definition is mesh independent. 29
29 RBF-Morph is Integrated with Fluent 30
30 Example 1: Internal Flow Here, a pipe is projected onto a previously defined STL shape 31

35 Adjoint Solver 36
36 Adjoint Solution? An adjoint solver allows specific information about a fluid system to be computed that is very difficult to gather otherwise. The adjoint solution itself is a set of derivatives. They are not particularly useful in their raw form and must be post-processed appropriately. The derivative of an engineering quantity with respect to all of the inputs for the system can be computed in a single calculation. Example: Sensitivity of the drag on an airfoil to its shape. There are 4 main ways in which these derivatives can be used: 1. Qualitative guidance on what can influence the performance of a system strongly. 2. Quantitative guidance on the anticipated effect of specific design changes. 3. Guidance on important factors in solver numerics. 4. Gradient-based design optimization. 37
37 How to Use the Results - Qualitative GOAL: Identify features of a system design that are most influential in the performance of the system. EXAMPLE: Sensitivity of the Drag on a NACA 0012 airfoil to changes in the shape of the airfoil. The shape sensitivity field is extracted from the adjoint solution in a post-processing step. High sensitivity changes to shape have a big effect on drag Low sensitivity changes to shape have a small effect on drag 38
38 How to Use the Results - Quantitative GOAL: Identify specific system design changes that benefit the performance and quantify the improvement in performance that is anticipated. EXAMPLE: Design modifications to turning vanes in a 90 degree elbow to reduce the total pressure drop. The optimal adjustment that is made to the shape is defined by the shape sensitivity field (steepest descent algorithm). Effect of each change can be computed in advance based on linear extrapolation. Baseline Modified Original P = Pa Expected change computed using the adjoint and linear extrapolation = 10.0 Pa Make the change and recompute the solution. Actual change = 9.0 Pa 39
39 How to Use the Results - Solver Numerics GOAL: Identify aspects of the solver numerics and computational mesh that have a strong influence on quantities that are being computed that are of engineering interest. EXAMPLE: Use the adjoint solution to identify parts of the mesh where mesh adaption will benefit the computed drag by reducing the influence of discretization errors. Baseline Mesh Adapted Mesh Adapted Mesh Detail 40
40 How to Use the Results - Optimization GOAL: Perform a sequence of automated design modifications to improve a specific performance measure for a system EXAMPLE: Gradient-based optimization of the total pressure drop in a pipe. Flow solution is recomputed and the adjoint recomputed at each design iteration Initial design p tot [Pa] Final design 30% reduction in total pressure drop after 30 design iterations Iteration
41 Mesh Morphing Once a desired change to the geometry of the system has been selected, how is that change to be made? Mesh morphing provides a convenient and powerful means of changing the geometry and the computational mesh. Use Bernstein polynomial-based morphing scheme discussed earlier 42
42 Mesh Morphing & Adjoint Data Example: Sensitivity of lift to surface shape Flow Select portions of the geometry to be modified Adjoint to deformation operation Surface shape sensitivity becomes control point sensitivity (chain rule for differentiation) Benefit of this approach is two-fold Smooths the surface sensitivity field Provides a smooth interior and boundary mesh deformation 43
43 Mesh Morphing, Adjoint Data & Constraints The adjoint solution is determined based on the specific flow physics of the problem in hand. The effect of other practical engineering constraints must be reconciled with the adjoint data to decide on an allowable design change. Example: Some walls within the control volume may be constrained not to move. A minimal adjustment is made to the control-point sensitivity field so that deformation of the fixed walls is eliminated. Fixed wall Fixed wall Moveable walls 44
44 Current Functionality The adjoint solver is released with all Fluent 14 packages. Documentation is available Theory Usage Tutorial Case study Training is available Functionality is activated by Loading the adjoint solver add-on module A new menu item is added at the top level 45
45 Current Functionality Application Drivers Key initial application areas are: Low-speed external aerodynamics F1 (increase downforce) Production automobiles (decrease drag) Low-speed internal flows Total pressure drop (reduce losses) In Fluent 14.5 a mechanism for users to define a wide range of observables of interest will be provided. Forces Moments Pressure drop Swirl Ratios Products Variances Linear combinations Unary operations 46
46 Current Scope ANSYS-Fluent flow solver has very broad scope Adjoint is configured to compute solutions based on some assumptions Steady, incompressible, laminar flow. Steady, incompressible, turbulent flow with standard wall functions. First-order discretization in space. Frozen turbulence. The primary flow solution does NOT need to be run with these restrictions Strong evidence that these assumptions do not undermine the utility of the adjoint solution data for engineering purposes. Fully parallelized. Gradient algorithm for shape modification Mesh morphing using control points. Adjoint-based solution adaption 47
47 Example 1: Automotive Aerodynamics Surface map of the drag sensitivity to shape changes 48 Surface map of the drag sensitivity to shape changes Surface map of the drag sensitivity to shape changes
48 Example 2: Pressure Drop in a Duct Total Pressure Drop (Pa) Geometry Predicted Result Original Modified Aggressive adjustment results in a 17% reduction in loss in just one design iteration 49
49 HPC Best Practices 50
50 Guidelines : Know your hardware lifecycle Have a goal in mind for what you want to achieve Using Licensing productively Using ANSYS provided processes effectively 51
51 Hardware Considerations This section is meant to provide an overview of the different hardware components and how they can effect solution time. Hopefully this will give you some of the tools to understand why some of the benchmark numbers in better detail. ANSYS would always recommend that the best thing to do before buying a system is to look at the latest benchmarks. If you are not sure please ask. 52
52 Effect of Clock Speed Impact of CPU Clock on Application Performance Processor: Xeon X5600 Series Hyper Threading: OFF, TURBO: ON Active cores: 12/node; Memory speed: 1333 MHz (performance measure is improvement relative to CPU Clock 2.66 GHz) Higher is better Improvement due to Clock GHz 2.93 GHz 3.47 GHz Clock Ratio eddy_417k aircraft_2m turbo_500k sedan_4m truck_14m ANSYS/FLUENT Model 53
53 Effect of Memory Speed We can see here the effect of memory speed. This has implications on how you build your hardware. Some processors types have slower memory speeds by default. On other processors nonoptimally filling the memory channels can slow the memory speed. Impact of Memory Speed 130% 125% 120% 115% 110% 105% 100% 95% 90% 85% 80% Impact of DIMM speed on ANSYS/FLUENT Application Performance (Intel Xeon x5670, 2.93 GHz) Hyper Threading: OFF, TURBO: ON Active threads per node: 12 (performance measure improvement is relative to memory speed of 1066 MHz) eddy_417k turbo_500k aircraft_2m sedan_4m truck_14m ANSYS/FLUENT Model 1066 MHz 1333 MHz 54
54 Turbo Boost (Intel) / Turbo Core (AMD) Turbo Boost (Intel)/ Turbo Core(AMD) is a form of over-clocking that allows you to give more GHz to individual processors when others are idle. With the Intel s have seen variable performance with this ranging between 0-8% improvement depending on the numbers of cores in use. The graph below for CFX on a Intel X5550. This only sees a maximum of 2.5% improvement. 55
55 Hyper-Threading: ANSYS Fluent Hyper-Threading Technology makes a single physical processor appear as two logical processors. Evaluation of Hyperthreading on ANSYS/FLUENT Performance idataplex M3 (Intel Xeon x5670, 2.93 GHz) TURBO: ON (measurement is improvement relative ot Hyperthtreading OFF) This is not the same as physically having two logical processors and does not give double the speedup. In our tests we ve seen as high as a 20% increase in performance although you can see the actual performance can be quite variable from the graph opposite. It is worth noting that this has licensing implications as you would need to oversubscribe the physical cores and hence would need double the HPC Licenses. Higher is better Improvemet due to Hyperthreading HT OFF (12 threads on 12 physical cores) HT ON (24 threads on 12 physical cores) eddy_417k turbo_500k aircraft_2m sedan_4m truck_14m ANSYS/FLUENT Model 56
56 AMD vs. Intel Traditionally Intel take the power approach in general in their 2 socket systems (faster core but less of them per processor/socket). Traditionally AMD take the economies of scale approach (more cores per processor but individually slower clock speeds). Remember that this landscape changes because they are constantly in competition with each other. Please note that whilst we do have some numbers for the new Intel Sandy-bridge chips we do not have scaling numbers for the equivalent AMD 6200 series at the time of writing this presentation. 57
57 2 Socket vs. 4 Socket Systems Current 4 socket systems come up slower than their 2 socket counterparts (based on Intel Westmere vs. Xeon E7-8837). Clock speed slower Memory speed slower No additional memory bandwidth. Performance of ANSYS Fluent on two-socket and four-socket based systems Performance measure is Fluent Rating (higher values are better) 2-socket based Systems IBM HS22/HS22V Blade, 3550/3650 M3, Dx360 M3 (Xeon 5600 Series) 4-socket based Systems IBM HX5 Blade, X3850 (Xeon E series) Nodes Sockets Cores Fluent Fluent Nodes Sockets Cores Rating Rating
58 Effect of the Interconnect When going for multiple systems linked together the interconnect becomes an important factor. The interconnect is the fabric that connects the nodes. We can see from the graph opposite with FLUENT how quickly the performance of Gigabit Ethernet drops off. FLUENT Rating Higher is better ANSYS/FLUENT Performance idataplex M3 (Intel Xeon x5670, 12C 2.93 GHz) Network: Gigabit, 10-Gigabit, 4X QDR Infiniband (QLogic, Voltaire) Hyperthreading: OFF, TURBO: ON Models: truck_14m QLogic Voltaire 10-Gigabit Gigabit Number of Cores used by a single job 59

63 ANSYS Fluent Parallel Scalability on Intel ANSYS Fluent 14 Relative Performance Higher is better Geomean core Xeon X core Xeon E Geomean 1 Sedan_4m Truck_14m 1.53 Leading Performance for fluid flow simulation The memory bandwidth of the Intel Xeon processor E product family allows excellent scalability and per core performance. Support for higher speed memory DIMMs, added on-core capacity for memory loads, as well as a larger cache size are key to extending performance and scalability. Higher memory bandwidth has a pronounced impact with fully coupled solver applications, which are the most memory intensive. Sedan_4m is shown as an example of fully coupled solver performance. Truck_14m is representative of segregated solver performance. The horizontal line at 1.63 represents the geomean speedup over 6 standard benchmarks. 6 core Xeon X core Xeon E Data Source: Approved/published results as of February 1, 2012 See backup for details 64 *Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others

66 Fluids I/O 67 FLUENT, CFX and AUTODYN use a singular file structure. This means there is one global set of files and every process writes to them. This methodology falls down at a large number of cores where the file I/O becomes a bottleneck. CFX deals with this by using inline compression (cdat) FLUENT has both inline compression (cdat) and at v12.x introduced support for a Parallel File (pdat). Parallel file system support in ANSYS FLUENT ~10x - 20x speedup for data write Eliminates scaling bottleneck for data intensive simulations on large clusters (e.g., transient flows) Serial I/O ANSYS FLUENT Parallel I/O

72 Getting the right setup is balancing act.. 73
73 Factors to Consider HPC Licensing Cost Cost of Hardware Complexity of Deployment and Maintenance 74
74 HPC Licensing Cost ANSYS HPC is licensed in either the HPC Workgroup/Enterprise (or individually) or HPC Packs. Given that it is licensed per partition (which in most cases translated to a core) the best value for money is in getting the best scalability per core as possible. When running multiple cores make sure you are using them as effectively as the memory bandwidth allows. 75
75 Cost of Hardware ANSYS will, in general, recommend the best hardware for performance that gets you the best out of your licensing investment. However you may need to make trade-off's for your budget. 2 socket systems provide the best performance but more inherently more complexity (and hence cost) because of the need for high speed interconnects when in a cluster. Current 4 socket systems have less performance than their 2 socket counterparts but are also cheaper because of their lack of requirement for the high speed interconnects to get to higher numbers of nodes at the low end. 76
76 Complexity of Deployment and Maintenance A large cluster can have significant overheads in ease of deployment & on-going maintenance costs. A 4 socket system, whilst having less performance, may provide an easier deployment and maintenance route at the lower end and will be a better fit to what the average IT department is used to. Often users get too caught up on per core performance at the detriment of not getting any extra speedup at all. It is important to purchase something you feel you can internally support. Purchase 3 rd party support for high performance clusters if you do not feel you have the skills to support it internally. 77
77 Remember the Following... If you opt for unsupported infrastructure This does not mean that it will not work but you use them at your own risk. We may ask you to replicate it on a system that is supported before providing further support if you run into problems! We recommend: Buying Supported Operating systems and Hardware Using ANSYS Supported Practices Talking to us before buying! It is in all our interests that you get this right! 78
