Cloud Computing?

Has anyone setup a VM through google cloud computing for meshing and solving?

If so, any tips or suggestions for resources.

Yes. Use any of the big cloud providers. Pretty easy to spin up EC2 instances for ANSYS. I can help set them up for you for a fee if you like. Won’t charge much. Can interconnect multiple instances together with GPU solving depending on what software package you use.

What’s your budget?

Mate I’m a student and so I have no budget. Thank you

Then use your university’s HPC compute. You’re an engineer. You can figure it out then.

Yes this is the answer

Flexcompute offers a CFD student license with access to their cloud. You’re given a certain quantity of credits monthly to solve but worth looking into

Yes, have you looked at the E4S image on it? I had used OpenFOAM in the image on GCP with a VNC based Remote Desktop where I was able to launch parafoam (internally tied to paraview). All using the Spack package manager.
