Parallel Processing in FLUENT

September 30, 2000, 15:17

Hi All,

Is it possible to run the parallel network version of FLUENT on a network cluster of 8 Windows NT machines. In fluent's menu they seem only to refer to UNIX clusters and multi processor NT machines. I am keen to see if this works as it allow us to reduce the overall computational time for large grids. Do fluent support netwok clustering for NT. If they do do I need to purchase additional hardware such as a separate server for the 8 PC's and create a new NT domain specifically for these machines.

Thanks for Your Help,

Philip

Yes we do support clusters of NT machines. Please ask to speak to a sales engineer at Fluent.
