My point is that entire racks full of interconnected cages full of storage, accelerators, NICs, etc. is quite common in #HPC, and #SGI basically made HPC solutions for CAD & VFX...
@sassageflare I mean it's one of those with the brushed aluminium and black grills designed by BMW DesignWorks USA so it looks awesome.
Plus it was eligible for licensing Autodesk's suite for #Linux with #RHEL 6 installed - cuz #Autodesk won't sell that to you if you didn't have "proof of qualifying hardware"...
Also the HP z-Series are the reference machines for Autodesk to develop for, so my machine propably was originally working for an engineering firm before it got refurb'd and sold...
I'm currently getting by with a mixture of Design Spark Mechanical, FreeCAD, and OpenSCAD for prototyping/editing files, I'd love to find a good alternative that isn't from a predatory company like Autodesk
One of my biggest challenges switching back to #Linux now, is the lack of support for #Fusion360 used for #3dprinting.
Many would critisize me for using Fusion360, but hey! It works!
I am productive, efficient and good in it. I have my workflow and I have 2 years of experience in it. It has its problems and me using it is in no way me actually liking and approving of their business practises or how they treat our community.
So I guess I am finally making the switch to #onshape
What 3d modeling software do you recommend in the year 2023?
