Fortissimo 2 (Cross-Solver Cloud-Based Tool for Aeronautical FSI Applications) was a successor of Fortissimo project and it continued to address the adoption of next generation ICT advances in the manufacturing domain. At the core of Fortissimo 2 were three tranches of Application Experiments (~35 in total).
A key feature of Fortissimo 2 was the adoption of the marketplace to meet the needs of end-users. It offered a responsive and reliable service to companies which want to access HPC and Big resources and eCNRxpertise.
Together with NTUA, CNR, CINECA and D’Appolonia S.p.A., UTV/RBF participated in the EU FP7 FORTISSIMO project with Cross-Solver Cloud-based Tool for Aeronautical FSI Applications; the proposed application experiment aimed at solving a wide range of real world aeronautical aero-elastic optimizations in a reliable and cost-efficient way by means of the RBF4AERO software platform running as a cloud-based tool on the high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure of Fortissimo. Users were provided with a GUI client that runs on the user’s workstation and connects seamlessly to the HPC system to run simulations and optimizations.
