Anyone doing cloud analysis with Staad?

I was reading some press releases talking about new cloud analysis capabilities that Bentley has developed.  I tried to log into the site, using the link from teh Bentley page, but the link crashes every time I try to log in.

So is this something that is working now, even if only in beta capabilities?  I am working on some crazy models with numerous solids, that take a very long time to run, if they run at all (having out of memory problems).  Cloud analysis sounds like the answer to me.

This is the link I am trying.  When I click on the "log in" button at the top right, it crashes.

    Hello Andrew

    Yes, you heard it right. Bentley does have capabilities to run Analysis and Design on the cloud. However, cloud based Structural Analysis is not currently available for end users. Bentley ran an Early Access Program with STAAD.Pro SS6 but the infrastructure has now been dismantled - causing the crash you are experiencing.

    We are working on the production version to be released as a part of Bentley CONNECT services. Official name of this service is ProjectWise Scenario Services (PWSS) and planned release is in Q4 2015. PWSS will allow users to run large models like yours, as well as compare multiple configurations (or options) of the same model using a set of Performance Indicators.

    Bentley is looking for trial users who can test the system and report back their findings. Will you be interested in participating in this trial which will precede the commercial release ?

    Meanwhile we will appreciate if you can send us the model so we can use it as a test case. We shall send the results back to you. Also, we would like to talk to you about your specific needs, including the type of structure you are modeling and how frequently you need to model these types of structures. Please contact me directly at sam.Mukherjee@Bentley.com. I am the product manager of PWSS.

    Thanks,

    Sam
