United Engine Corporation has created a high-performance computing system designed for complicated engineering calculations. A supercomputer capable of performing 219 trillion operations per second will be used to create digital twins of aircraft engines.
A new high-performance computing system considerably enhances computational resources of UEC by reducing computation time, which in turn allows computer simulation accuracy to be increased getting closer to that of a full-scale test.
“At this point it is impossible to design aircraft engines without using high-performance computational resources. Digital twin technology shall considerably increase the performance of engineering teams allowing new products to be developed within a limited time and at a lower cost. Implementation of this project is the next step towards digital transformation of UEC, which increases the availability of high-performance computing systems for the corporation’s companies,” emphasized Khristolyubov, Director of Digital Transformation of UEC.
Complexity of engineering calculations is growing continuously and requires high-performance computational resources to be used for design and engineering. Moreover, it is essential that virtual testing technology is introduced to replace some full-scale tests of physical products by a simulation experiment.
