Dassault, NIMHANS, and UberCloud Foster Innovative Schizophrenia Treatment

UberCloud’s HPC containers have been packaged recently with several scientific workflows and application data to simulate complex phenomena in human’s heart and brain. As the core software for these HPC cloud experiments we are using Simpleware software models and a (containerized) Abaqus solver running in a fully automated multi-node HPE environment in the Advania HPC Cloud.

Zoom into the material microstructure in Abaqus

Using the new MultiMech 18.0 for Abaqus, users can zoom into their material microstructure and understand how structural performance is influenced at the material level. We recently recorded a webinar that explains how users can easily convert their models to multiscale and get more accurate results without needing to learn a new software tool.
