When specifying the mechanical and electrical equipment for a building, it is easy to assume that extra capacity is a good thing, but it actually can be just as counterproductive as having undersized installations. In the first place, extra capacity comes at a higher upfront cost, which makes the building owner assume unnecessary expenses. There are also many types of equipment that experience performance issues when over-engineered, which can range from low energy efficiency to a diminished service life.

Today’s product design engineers challenge the limits of computing with computer-aided engineering (CAE) applications. By accelerating the process of pinpointing design flaws and producing higher-quality, better-performing products, these applications enable manufacturers to improve designs and reduce time to market. The key to improving CAE performance and reaching key insights faster is a combination of specific 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors suited for CAE workloads, the HPE Apollo 2000 Gen10 Plus scale-out server, and close collaboration between Intel®, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), and CAE application vendors
