Ansys Cloud Direct
Cloud-based Engineering
Simulation
Access Ansys Cloud Direct anywhere, anytime to obtain endless simulation capabilities compatible with most Ansys solvers.
Engineering simulation has long been constrained by fixed computing resources available on a desktop or cluster. Ansys Cloud Direct provides access to on-demand, cloud-based computing resources, including both interactive workstations and HPC clusters, for faster, high-fidelity results offering greater performance insight. Ansys Cloud Direct increases simulation throughput by removing the hardware barrier. Ansys Cloud Direct is a scalable and cost-effective approach to HPC in the cloud.
To leverage the combined benefits of cloud computing and best-in-class engineering simulation, Ansys partnered with Microsoft® Azure™ to create a secure cloud solution.

Built-in Cloud HPC Access

Ansys Cloud Direct delivers easy access to on-demand high-performance computing resources from within your Ansys environment. Using your Ansys software, prepare your simulation models on your desktop. Simply select your desired hardware configuration, then submit your jobs directly to the cloud. You won’t have to wait in HPC cluster queues or reduce your model size to fit desktop constraints. Job progress may be monitored from your desktop or through a web-based cloud portal.
Ansys Cloud Direct is optimized for Ansys solvers. As an Ansys Mechanical, Ansys Fluent, Ansys Electronics Desktop, Ansys Speos or Ansys LS-Dyna user and Ansys CFX, you can easily access Ansys Cloud Direct without involving your information technology team. By eliminating the need for complex software installations or cloud-side setups, you can focus on solving your engineering problems. And, without having to build in-house solutions or rely on third-party vendors, you can avoid costly upfront investment and delays.
Ansys Cloud Direct is a ready-to-use, proven solution that is fully supported by Ansys HPC and solver experts.
Full Remote Desktop Experience

Ansys Cloud’ Direct’s In-Browser Interactive Session is a virtual desktop interface (VDI) that delivers workstation-class performance to any computer with an internet connection.
Access complete installations of Mechanical, Fluent, Electronics Desktop, Speos, Discovery, Workbench and CFX via a remote desktop connection, to harness additional computing power for pre- and post-processing activities and eliminate the need to transfer data to and from the cloud.
With VDI, Ansys Cloud Direct enables a full end-to-end, cloud-based workflow. This is the future of simulation.
Completely Secure Workflows

Ansys Cloud Direct provides a highly robust and completely secure environment for running simulations in the cloud. At the Microsoft® Azure™ data centers, where simulations are run and data are stored, access is strictly controlled.
The solution combines Azure’s best practices with custom encryption for added security. Both data at rest and in motion are encrypted.
Leveraging Azure™ Virtual Networks, Ansys Cloud Direct offers a separate, secure network architecture for each customer: Only you can access your data.
The complete system architecture has undergone comprehensive testing, including detailed penetration testing. Because new security threats emerge continuously, the solution’s security is regularly audited by a third party.
New sign in experience offering multi-factor authentication for improved security.
Economical On-Demand Pricing

Pay-per-use access to both cloud hardware and Ansys software is available on Microsoft Azure and enabled through Ansys Elastic Licensing.
Rather than locking into a long-term lease, you can purchase a pool of Ansys Elastic Currency (AECs) based on your short-term cloud-computing needs.
You can also connect your existing licenses to Ansys Cloud Direct to leverage your current investment in Ansys software, while using our Ansys Managed Hardware Solution using Ansys Hardware Currency (AHCs) to pay for on-demand hardware when needed. Using your existing licenses, prepare your model using your on-premises hardware. When you submit your simulation job for analysis in the cloud, use your pool of AHCs for your on-demand hardware. Alternatively, using Ansys Cloud Direct’s VDI, you can access workstation-class hardware in the cloud to prepare your model and/or post-process your results interactively. This gives you the best of both worlds depending on your needs.
AECs and AHCs are consumed at a specified hourly rate that varies with the choice of hardware configuration and solver type. The consumption rates for Ansys software and hardware can be found in the Ansys Elastic Licensing Terms and Conditions.
Your pool of AECs and AHCs (shared with others in your organization) is charged based on your cloud runtime (in fractions of an hour). Consumption of AECs and AHCs may be tracked using the Ansys Elastic Licensing portal, which is accessed via a desktop or mobile web browser. With this combination of traditional licensing (leased and paid-up for steady workflows) and pay-per-use licensing (for in-cloud, flexible capacity), you can optimize your company’s investment in simulation.
Job monitoring

Easily monitor the progress of your HPC job from within the desktop application (when using Ansys Mechanical or Ansys Fluent for example) or from a web-based cloud portal (for Ansys Mechanical, Ansys Fluent and Ansys Electronic Desktop Speos).
Job monitoring tools provide full access to the solver transcript, a graphical view of convergence parameters and real-time access to debug information when help is needed.
You can also view a summary of your simulation jobs via a web-based cloud portal, which can be accessed from your desktop or mobile device. Using the cloud portal, you can track total consumption of AECs and AHCs, and even share your simulation jobs with your peers and Ansys support.
Improved visibility of usage for admin users: Company admins now have access to usage data via analytics.
Cloud-Based 3D Results Visualization

In addition to the full interactive in-browser desktop applications, Ansys Cloud Direct also provides a web-based results viewer which allows validate the results of your simulations while your data are in the cloud.
Innovative post-processing technology leaves the heavy data in the cloud, transferring only requested information to you for 3D rendering in your web browser via custom post-processing tools — to deliver performance that is unmatched for all size models.
You can plot scalar and vector fields and visualize results on existing parts, planes, isosurfaces and isovolumes. When needed, download the data to your desktop for detailed post-processing using your familiar desktop applications. Alternatively, you can also perform full post-processing directly in the cloud using in-browser interactive sessions to access workstation-class performance and full Ansys software capabilities, without having to transfer data locally.

Smart Strategies for Large Structural Simulations
One way to gauge the progress of engineering simulation software is through the lens of size. Engineers today routinely run structural simulations with a few million degrees of freedom, and the largest commercial structural simulations have topped even 100 million degrees of freedom.
