SC67

SC67 — Entry 6-Core CFD Node for Small ANSYS Fluent Cases

The SC67 node is an accessible, modern entry point for ANSYS Fluent, pairing a 6-core Intel® Core™ i5-12500 (up to 4.6 GHz) with a generous 64 GB of RAM and 1 TB of SATA SSD storage. Built on current-generation Alder Lake cores, it offers strong per-core performance for small-to-moderate cases, learning, and everyday CFD — with enough memory to hold meshes larger than the core count alone would suggest. When you want a modern, budget-friendly node to learn on or run small simulations, SC67 is the choice.

It is an entry tier in our range: a modern 6-core CPU, a generous 64 GB memory budget, and responsive SSD storage — with a clear path up to higher-core, faster, and GPU nodes as your needs grow.

Specifications

SC67 uses a modern Core i5-12500: 6 Alder Lake cores at up to 4.6 GHz with strong per-core performance. Behind it, a generous 64 GB of RAM lets it hold small-to-moderate meshes, and two 512 GB SATA SSDs give you 1 TB for case files, solution data, and autosaves.

What's included with SC67

Every SC67 rental comes with extras to help you get the most from it:

• A comprehensive CFD course, free — a full training course to sharpen your simulation skills, included at no extra cost.

• One month of Claude AI Premium — AI assistance to support your engineering, scripting, and problem-solving.

• One hour of free CFD consultation — direct time with our CFD engineers to help set up, troubleshoot, or optimize your case.

These come standard with the node — practical support alongside the compute.

What this node is built for

SC67 is an entry tier in our range. It suits:

• Small-to-moderate meshes — 6 modern cores handle everyday cases at a solid pace.

• Learning and training — an accessible, current-generation node for tutorials and building CFD skills.

• Steady and lighter transient runs — wherever the case fits in 64 GB and turnaround needs are modest.

• Getting started affordably — modern compute without the cost of a high-end server.

With 6 Alder Lake cores at up to 4.6 GHz, Fluent partitions your mesh across them for a solid speed-up on small-to-moderate cases, while the generous 64 GB of RAM lets you hold meshes larger than the core count alone would suggest.

Cores vs. memory: choosing SC67

SC67 pairs a modest, modern core count with a generous memory budget. In CFD, cores determine how fast a case solves, while memory sets the largest mesh you can run — roughly 1 GB of RAM per million cells for a typical steady, single-phase case. With 64 GB and 6 fast cores, SC67 is matched to small-to-moderate cases — held comfortably in memory and solved at an entry-level pace.

• Want more cores to solve faster? Step up to SC70 (8-core, 5.0 GHz), SC69 or SC72 (12-core), or SG13 (14-core).

• Need a high core count? See SC58 (48-core EPYC), SC62 (48-core dual Xeon), or SC63 (96-core quad Xeon).

• Need more memory? See SC56 (1 TB high-memory).

• Want GPU acceleration? Our GPU tiers (GP1, GP2) run Fluent's native GPU solver.

Tell us your cell count and physics, and we'll match you to the tier that fits.

Fast SSD storage

The two 512 GB SATA SSDs give you 1 TB of responsive storage — quick read/write for loading case files, writing solution data, and handling autosaves, so a fast solve isn't held up by slow disk I/O. (For larger datasets or very I/O-heavy work, our higher-capacity and NVMe-equipped nodes offer more room and speed.)

How parallel solving works on this node

When you run Fluent in parallel, the solver partitions your mesh across all 6 cores (using algorithms such as METIS), each core solving its share of cells and exchanging boundary data each iteration via MPI. On a single node, that communication runs through fast on-chip channels rather than a network, keeping parallel overhead low. For small-to-moderate cases that fit in 64 GB, those 6 modern cores deliver a solid speed-up.

Why rent instead of buy

For accessible, modern CFD on small-to-moderate cases, SC67 gives you current-generation cores — plus a free course, a month of Claude AI Premium, and a consultation hour — with an easy step up when your meshes grow.

How it works — you're in full control

SC67 is yours to drive directly. You connect to the node over a secure remote desktop connection and run everything yourself, exactly as you would on a local workstation:

1. Connect via remote desktop — you get full remote access to the SC67 node.

2. Set up your simulation — load your geometry and case, configure your solver settings, and run ANSYS Fluent with all 6 cores at your command.

3. Run and monitor in real time — start, pause, adjust, and watch the solution as it progresses, with complete control throughout.

4. Keep your results — post-process on the node or download your solution and data files whenever you're ready.

You have full authority over the node for the duration of your rental: we provide the hardware and the support, and you run the simulations your way.

Frequently asked questions

Who is SC67 for?
Anyone who wants a modern, accessible node for small-to-moderate CFD cases — students, those learning ANSYS Fluent, and engineers running everyday simulations on a budget.

How large a mesh can it handle?
The generous 64 GB of RAM lets SC67 hold small-to-moderate meshes (about 1 GB of RAM per million cells for simpler steady single-phase cases, fewer for transient or multiphase physics). With 6 cores, larger meshes will solve slowly, so SC67 is best for smaller cases. Send us your case and we'll advise.

How is SC67 different from SC68?
Both are entry nodes with 64 GB and 1 TB of SSD. SC67 uses a modern 6-core Alder Lake CPU; SC68 uses an older 4-core processor. SC67 offers more cores and stronger per-core performance.

Is my data kept confidential?
Yes. Your geometry, case files, and results stay private to you, treated as strictly confidential — and because you run everything yourself over remote desktop, your work stays under your control throughout.
