Ansys Speos Virtual Desktop

The Ansys Speos virtual desktop experience is summarized in the following steps:

1. Create a virtual desktop. A project space administrator creates a virtual desktop with Ansys Speos installed. See Creating a Virtual Desktop in the Administration Guide.

   Follow these guidelines:

   Operating system: Ansys Speos virtual desktop sessions are supported on Windows-based virtual desktops only.

   Applications: Ansys Speos

   Note: Ansys recommends that you create the virtual desktop without any applications, and then add the application after the virtual desktop has been created. See Adding Applications to a Virtual Machine in the User's Guide. Sometimes, Windows updates are triggered on newly created virtual machines, causing application installation to fail.

   Hardware recommendations:

   • For simulation preparation or CPU check: m5d, m6a, m6i, r5a, r6i

   • For GPU compute and 3D result viewer: g5

     Select the GPU display/compute (GRID drivers) option:

     

     For information about GPU driver options, see NVIDIA GPU Driver Support.

   Limitations:

   • To visualize a Speos 360 result or run a simulation using GPU acceleration, you must use an instance type with a dedicated graphics card (for example, g5).

   • Graviton is not supported by Speos.

2. Launch a virtual desktop session. Users with access to the project space connect to the virtual desktop to start a virtual desktop session. See Launching a Virtual Desktop Session in the User's Guide.

3. Run the remote application. Once the desktop is open you can run simulations on the virtual desktop just as you would on your local desktop. For product information, refer to the Speos Documentation.

   If you need to transfer files to the virtual desktop, see General Guidelines for Transferring Files in the User's Guide.
