Sumitomo Precision Products Case Study

Sumitomo Precision Products (SPP), a Japanese leader in aerospace components and thermal management systems, transitioned from legacy on-premises workstations to Rescale’s digital engineering platform to overcome severe hardware limitations. Previously, their simulations were capped at five CPUs, leading to analysis times of several weeks. By adopting Rescale’s cloud HPC platform, SPP successfully automated and accelerated their R&D workflows, enabling them to handle increasingly complex customer demands for high-accuracy simulation results in a fraction of the original time.

Key Takeaways:

  • Dramatic Reduction in Lead Times: The move to Rescale allowed SPP to slash simulation analysis times from 20 days down to just 1 day. This 95% reduction enables the team to deliver results much earlier in the design process.
  • Scalability and Performance: SPP transitioned from a restricted environment of only five CPUs to a platform capable of scaling jobs across hundreds of CPUs. This allows for the large-scale, high-fidelity modeling required for next-generation aerospace heat exchangers.
  • Software Integration and Support: The decision to adopt Rescale was driven by its native support for SPP’s existing toolchain—including Simcenter STAR-CCM+, HEEDS, and FreeFEM—combined with high-touch technical support that helped fine-tune their fluid dynamics and optimization software for maximum cloud-scale performance.
