description SimScale Overview

SimScale is a cloud-native simulation platform that democratizes access to advanced engineering simulation. It allows users to perform FEA, CFD, and thermal analysis directly within a web browser, eliminating the need for expensive hardware and specialized software. SimScales collaborative features enable teams to work together seamlessly on simulation projects. Its particularly well-suited for small to medium-sized businesses and individuals seeking a cost-effective and accessible simulation solution.

Its ease of use makes it attractive for those new to simulation.

help SimScale FAQ

Can SimScale run CFD, FEA, and thermal simulations entirely in a browser?

Yes. SimScale runs CFD, FEA, thermal, and electromagnetic simulations through a web browser, with computation handled in the cloud rather than on the user's workstation.

Do I need a powerful GPU or engineering workstation for SimScale?

No local simulation workstation is required because SimScale executes solver workloads on cloud hardware. You still need a suitable browser and a reliable internet connection to upload CAD models, configure studies, and inspect results.

Can SimScale import existing CAD models?

Yes, SimScale is designed to accept CAD geometry for simulation setup and also provides cloud-based geometry preparation tools. The exact import workflow depends on the file format and whether the model needs operations such as flow-volume extraction or small-feature removal.

How does SimScale differ from desktop tools such as ANSYS or SOLIDWORKS Simulation?

SimScale is cloud-native and accessed through a browser, while products such as ANSYS Mechanical and SOLIDWORKS Simulation traditionally run through installed desktop software. SimScale is particularly useful when a team wants shared projects and scalable computing without maintaining dedicated simulation hardware.
