This article deals with a problem of soil-structure interaction on a simplified model using the commercial software Ansys on the Anselm supercomputer in the National Supercomputing Center IT4Innovations in the VSB-Technical University of Ostrava. For a purpose of large-scale modelling tasks by supercomputer knowing program limitations are required as well as the area and scope of the selected solution. Therefore, a numerical model was created with increasing size, and therefore degrees of freedom until a maximum size of the task was determined because any larger task can´t be computed. The maximum size of the task and solution times obtained by the supercomputer was compared to the maximum size and computation times received by a standard computer workstation.
