Engineering Simulation in the Cloud

From CAD to Simulation Results in 3 Steps

Import your CAD model

SimScale imports SOLIDWORKS, Onshape, Fusion 360, and other common files. Meshing is automatic.

Set up your analysis in your web browser

Choose your analysis type, set up your conditions, and start simulating!

Analyze and visualize your results in minutes

Analyze your simulation results with SimScale’s integrated online post-processor.

SimScale’s unique meshing algorithms allow you to import intricate CAD models with little or no CAD cleanup needed to make them simulation-ready.

Computational Fluid Dynamics

Using online engineering simulation software, you can access sophisticated fluid dynamics capabilities. With SimScale, laminar or turbulent models can be selected and the solvers support both steady state and transient setups. With cloud-based CFD analysis, you can run CAD simulations that range from small electronics to entire urban areas in minutes.

Finite Element Analysis

For your solid mechanics simulations, you can use linear static analysis to maximize your computational efficiency or nonlinear analysis to fully capture the physical behavior of the system. Dynamic, modal, and frequency analyses are also available. With computer-aided simulation from SimScale, you can predict the performance of CAD models before building the first physical prototype.

Thermal Analysis

SimScale’s online simulation software enables you to perform thermomechanical and heat transfer analyses, so you can predict the behavior of your application under the influence of thermal effects. As soon as the CAD analysis is complete, you will be able to optimize designs such as car brakes, heat sinks, and refrigerators without leaving your browser.

Zero hardware or software footprint

With SimScale, investing in expensive high-performance computing hardware and caring for software installation and maintenance are a thing of the past.

Low upfront investment

Save on thousands of dollars by cutting the cost of expensive hardware and software maintenance fees.

No installation or maintenance

Connect to the Internet and run demanding simulations on any laptop or PC. We take care of software updates for you in the background.

Easy setup

With our simple workflow and ready-to-use simulation templates and tutorials, you never have to start from scratch.

“The total material cost saving was 44%. We eliminated testing and prototype costs on this project entirely. It usually takes 1-3 weeks of prototyping time and another 1-3 weeks for all the testing normally done. Overall this project was successful and it helped achieve our goal of reducing cost and keeping within the project timeline.”

Lead Engineer in Value Engineering Department at Kichler Lighting
“I loved the fact that I could do what I need to do in a browser. I started working without installing any software. Using any computer I could upload the model and start the analysis. That was the big “wow” moment.”

Ben Lewis

President at Custom Machines
“Working with SimScale gave us the possibility to inspect which of the architectural and technical solutions works the best way and give us certainty about our decisions. One other big factor is the speed in which SimScale can deliver results, through its great parallelization capacity. Without SimScale, we wouldn’t be able to deliver high-quality results in the required time period.”

David Akeret

VDC Specialist at Gruner Roschi AG
“With SimScale we found our ideal balance between ease of use, variety of capabilities, and the ability to handle complex physics. However, we came to appreciate SimScale’s customer service as the most welcome benefit of all: their expert involvement allowed even less experienced engineers to run reliable simulation studies.”
