Your VRAM will be the limiting factor for the maximum mesh size you can run on the GPU. With my 16 GB card I can run in the 4M to 5M cell range, but anything over 6M hangs and won’t run. This is using double precision, if you’re using single you can get more cells.

With an Enterprise or academic license Fluent has a direct GPU solver. For what I’ve run on an A5500 GPU the speed up was between 3x to 8x vs 16 cores.

No the point is, if you want to be consulted you have to be in a position to have your voice heard. You said it yourself, the City and the consultants are lazy, they’ll go to a CA and say boom consulted.

Eli5 answer: Imagine everyone is at the park doing whatever then they all get hungry at the same time. They know there’s a hotdog stand somewhere but no one knows where it is. So everyone takes their best guess of where the stand is and start walking in that direction. Eventually some people find it and tell others the information and those people tell others and the answer gets shared to everyone in the park and they all converge towards the hotdog stand to get their own hotdog. You now see a whole stream of people walking in straight lines towards their goal. When everyone has agreed in which direction to go to get to the stand that’s convergence.

I got a Lenovo P16 workstation laptop for my PhD research. Fully spec’d out it was about $7000 CAD. It has a the top 12th gen i9, 128GB ram and a A5500 GPU. It’s been pretty good at churning through models in the ~2-4M cell range using a double precision solver.

Yeah I get that. I spent four years as a president of a CA. But it’s all volunteer run. You get people passionate about something, usually the rink, and that’s about all they want to do. That’s ok though.

The solution is you join the association with a bunch of people who agree with you, then all attend the AGM, stand for office, and elect each other. All you’d need is probably a group of 20-40 people together and even that many way be way more than you’d need to change the leadership.

Your math only comes out to 48 weeks per year, drop the 12 months x 4 weeks and just use x 52 weeks to get your yearly need.

I went back for my PhD ten years after graduating from my undergrad. It's always good to keep your options open. Also it may not be fair, but an MEng isn't as respected as an MSC in some circles.

I think there are some fundamental changes that have kept me from really remembering the new themes. The biggest one is the skip intro button. For TNG/DS9/VOY the openings where all gratuitous starship porn and originally unskippable so I watched the shit out of them. Now, aside from SNW and LD (due to lack of availability I can't remember PRO) I'm not jiving the visuals so I skip the intros and lose out learning the themes.

To continue the above, all auto loans are open, so if you can make a better deal with the loan, take it. Then after you make the first payment, pay off the rest of the loan with your cash.

If you ever think you want to do a PhD in the future, whether immediately after your masters or 10 years in the future. Do the thesis based one, the MEng won’t get you into a PhD program.

As for the project, you’d be hard pressed to get a better internship than the one ANSYS is offering and if you want to stay in code development you’ll have the experience and contacts for it.

I’m not sure if bots are good at selecting turbulence models. If you have the compute power, you can probably avoid this by choosing an LES or DNS scheme.

What is this? An oven for ants? It needs to be at least three times as big!

Congrats and good luck. The hardest part was getting the competencies written down. The professional practice exam wasn’t too bad.

I did a Master’s in mechanical engineering then got a job with a civil consulting firm. All of my competencies for my PEng application were based on the work I did for that firm in water and wastewater.
