We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Hi Ventura, 

The CPU plays a crucial role in the performance of Ansys Discovery, especially when it comes to high fidelity simulations in Refine stage using Fluent or MAPDL solvers. A high-performance workstation with a CPU that supports these solvers is necessary. These solvers are run on the CPU, and the performance can be influenced by the number of cores. 

The results obtained in the Explore stage or in the Refine stage using the LiveGX solver are dependent on GPU hardware, and requirements have been mentioned in the above article.

As for the Model stage in Ansys Discovery, the CPU plays a role in geometry cleanup and setting up the initial model for simulation.

Thanks and Regards
Atharv
