Over the past 50 years, computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools have repeatedly shown an increasing ability to accurately predict physical behaviors ranging from vibration to combustion and collision. These digital predictions of product performance and failure offer great insight, and are becoming increasingly critical to design tradeoff analysis, decision-making, and optimization. As the sophistication and complexity of these tools grows, we must also look at the speed and accessibility of generating simulation results. We'll discuss how we are using CUDA and NVIDIA GPUs to deliver the first real-time physics environment designed for digital experimentation. We will review the impact that fast, immersive, and interactive simulation is making on the design and engineering process within industry-leading companies, and we will share lessons learned in developing CAE technologies for massively parallel compute architectures.
