For now, Redmond is dogfooding Azure for product simulations
Microsoft has bragged that its own Azure HPC service was able to reduce the length of its Surface laptop design process – most notably for a hinge, which was reduced to one iteration, and hopes to use AI to do even better in future., Abaqus FEA software has been implemented into Azure HPC since 2015. By 2016, Redmond had fully migrated product level structural simulations for Surface Pro 4 and the original Surface laptop to Azure HPC from on-premises servers.
"In a few days, hundreds of simulations are executed to evaluate various design ideas and solutions to make the device robust," explained Raghavendra.Microsoft rolls out safety tools for Azure AI. Hint: More modelsIn the case of the aforementioned hinge, a graphic depicting its movement when a laptop is dropped and lands on a corner – as laptops tend to fall – allowed the engineering team to visualize the impact and stress levels experienced by its inner parts.
"This enabled us to isolate the main issue and make the right design improvements," Ragavendra explained in an April 15 post. Because only one design iteration was needed, he noted that tooling, prototyping and testing costs were saved, as well as time – which can mean a lot. Engineers are expensive.
