PHX CenterLink 3.0®

Workgroup Trade Studies

PHX CenterLink® is power for your process: accelerating design simulations and running integrated processes faster through a unique grid computing server. Users collaborate by sharing the results in a web-based interface. PHX CenterLink is easy to install and simple to use, allowing you to be productive quickly.

PHX CenterLink harnesses networks of computers to take advantage of idle computing time in your organization. If you have an existing cluster, HPC server, or access to grid resources, PHX CenterLink plugs in directly. If you do not have a cluster, PHX CenterLink will help you create one automatically.

System engineers, designers, and analysts who are running large, complex models will immediately realize a performance improvement once connected to PHX CenterLink. PHX CenterLink works seamlessly with existing Phoenix Integration software products so users do not have to learn a new user interface. Select the PHX CenterLink option and you will be connected directly to the server. It is that easy.

PHX CenterLink allows users to collaborate by sharing results in a web-based project format. Users can log in and view trade-study results and the status of complex engineering jobs that take a long time to complete.

Users can download the results of their engineering simulations into a web browser or directly into the PHX ModelCenter environment.

As an example, PHX CenterLink was used at one customer site with a grid of over 100 computers. The users were able to submit thousands of different studies and get the results back in a matter of minutes instead of waiting for days. The result? A powerful process and a design that exceeded expectations.

Whether your industry is aerospace, automotive, electronics, or beyond, PHX CenterLink is power for the process.
