The software is available for Windows as well as for Linux OS and in both systems the optimisation can either be performed on CPU as well as on GPU (Nvidia Quadro). For the GPU optimisation a separate license is required.
The following comparison of a Jet Engine Bracket optimisation shows the difference between the systems and various combinations of CPU and GPU calculations. The Jet Engine Bracket was input with the same boundary conditions as in the tutorial. The most important factors regarding the performance are the number of Events (load cases) and the Complexity setting. In this case there are 4 Events and a Complexity of 14 is set.

The difference between an optimisation on a GPU and a CPU is very dependent on the power and generation of the GPU/CPU.
