Manoj KumarManaging EditorJeevan GeorgeEditorialFor manufacturers and engineers, legacy systems are the primary weak links that impede production efficiency today. Taking stock of the situation, manufacturers are turning to High Performance Computing (HPC)-driven simulation to ensure engineering productivity remains at its peak. While the value of HPC for simulation is high, not every firm is able to experience it. Invariably--in spite of the pressing needs--small and midsize firm are not in a position to accommodate a petascale computing system that their larger counterparts use to whip out simulations at will. For instance, metal casting and welding--that involves physics such as heat transfer, fluid flow, liquid-to-solid phase change, and complex material laws--are important across the manufacturing domain, but these are highly challenging to simulate. Coupled with the agility and robustness required to ensure zero interruptions in the manufacturing output, the simulations would need to fully understand the process window.But as HPC evolves and becomes less expensive, doors are opening for smaller firms to take a dive into petascale computing and unleash the potential of advanced simulations. Companies are already increasing their computing power and building simulation expertise to optimize product development process, speed up time-to-market, and lower operating costs. Courtesy of advancements in simulation, manufacturers are now able to test and reuse product models, improve product reliability, and boost customer satisfaction--all contributing to a greater ROI.Among the slew of barriers that supercomputing-driven simulations decimate, remote visualization is a key component that is highly valuable to companies as they expand globally--causing data volume to surge and simulations to become increasingly complex. While not every engineer expects to adopt 3D modeling and simulation tools down the line, there certainly has been a steady increase in its usage over the years.As the world of manufacturing moves at a fast pace, a plethora of solution providers are empowering enterprises to simulate a wide range of scenarios. At this juncture, CIOReview presents to you a special edition on simulation technologies to further catalyze the advancement of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) to substantially shorten your product development lifecycle.We hope this edition enables the next level of CAE simulation growth for your enterprise.Jeevan George Managing Editoreditor@cioreview.comWhen Supercomputing Meets Simulation
