Scientific and high performance computing are active fields of research, but recent or evensemi-recent developments seldomly find their way to industrial applications: - Scientific software is mostly written by experts for experts. - Modelling an industrial process for simulation purposes is tedious and often manual work. - Computational resources are situated in supercomputing centres, not easily acces- sible to the public. - Deriving insights from simulations usually requires both expert tools and expert knowledge. - Manual data processing is not suitable for harnessing the power of machine learning and AI. Ianus Simulation GmbH addresses all these issues with its StrömungsRaum® framework and products for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applications, including mutable digital twins, automation, predictive surrogate models and automated optimisation [1]. We will demonstrate how robust and automated preprocessing enables non-expert users to use cutting edge scientific software on supercomputers, derive knowledge from automatically generated reports and how AI-based assistance systems will increase the customer’s productivity [2]. A special focus will be bringing exascale computing to the industry by a SCALEXA collaborative research project. REFERENCES [1] M. Geveler and S. Turek.
