Customer Success Story: Mercedes Benz
Concept Car Design
Challenge
Render hundreds of frames per animated sequence
Traditionally took 10 min/frame, people left idle, rendering had to be done at night
Compromises made as not all designs could be finished within a week
Solution
NVIDIA Maximus with Quadro 6000 and Tesla
C2075 running BunkSpeed, Maya, Alias, 3DSMax
Impact
Each frame now rendered in less than 1 min
While rendering, work on next sequence continues, significantly increasing productivity
No more compromising

Challenge
Rendering of 360 degree model movies took overnight to complete
Took 10 min to change wheel color
Separate systems used for viewing & data rendering
(long wait times for data downloads and uploads)
Solution
NVIDIA Maximus workstation with Tesla C2075 +
Quadro 5000 running Autodesk 3ds Max with iray
NVIDIA Maximus Impact
360 degree rotating movies now produced in 30 min
& ready for customer viewing
Rendering time decreased from 10 min to 30 seconds, improving workflow & design review process
Quicker time to higher quality results mean customers place more orders

Customer Success Story: Fisker
Challenge
Still frame rendering took 1-20 min
Animations took several hours, often overnight
Rendering monopolized system resources
Ideas were lost as designers could not act on them
Solution
NVIDIA Maximus with Quadro 6000 and Tesla C2075 running Bunkspeed, CATIA, Alias
Impact
Rendering time reduced by 5X
Design work continues simultaneously with rendering and more designs are acted upon

Customer Success Story: Astrobotic
Challenge
Computationally intensive engineering left workstations as dead zones & engineers idle
Analysis for each “what if” scenario took 30 min
File sizes had to be restricted
Solution
NVIDIA Maximus with Quadro 6000 and Tesla C2075
SolidWorks, ANSYS, Matlab
Impact
“What if” scenarios reduced to 15 min
Test models more thoroughly due to increased file size capability
Additional projects & possibilities can now be explored while computations are running

Customer Success Story: Liquid Robotics
Challenge
Computational simulation needed to increase number of design options
Reduce number of physical prototypes
Simulations had to be run at night or outsourced
Solution
NVIDIA Maximus with Quadro 6000 and Tesla C2075 running SolidWorks, ANSYS, Matlab
Impact
Work continues on same systems while simulations are running
4x increase in mechanical design options available for review
Higher quality final design reached before physical prototype
