I am trying to Simulation fluid flow around a rocket body in creo, I am attemptiing to use the simulation live feature but my university computers and personal computer do not have the necessary computing hardware. What and how do I use the simulation cloud, I've tried contacting the PTC tech support but they were no help.

What do you mean by "the simulation cloud" ?  I am not finding anything from PTC except CREO+ which is saas for Creo and a separate product that you would likely have to pay much more for. From what I remember simulate live requires specific GPU capabilities. On a more generic cloud note, you can use cloud platform services from various independent vendors to access machines with GPU capabilities. For example I use Microsoft Azure virtual machine with an NVIDIA A10 GPU to run Creo.  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/nva10v5-series

I am not sure about simulate live compatibility... I do not have that license,

Hi @SweetPeasHub 

 

What you wrote about Azure should be qualified, as we encountered the problem in our organization.
Not all sizes in this series are available for live simulation. I marked the ones that do not fit because their GPU partition is less than 4 GB.

 Thanks so much for your feedback as I think it will come in useful to anyone trying current Azure cloud solutions. This is useful because on the surface even the NV6 at 1/6 of 24GB shows 4GB GPU memory in the next column.

 

I have found a few bugs with GPU in the cloud and had to work on the Creo config files to get the graphics working without crashes. I think there are newer Nvidia virtual workstation drivers and cards that would work better but those do not show up in Azure yet.
