Rotating Machinery Simulation in the Cloud

From CAD to Simulation Results in 3 Steps

Import your building CAD model

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

Set up your simulation 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.

Pumps, Fans, Blowers, Compressors, Turbines

Get access to a high-fidelity engineering simulation platform that is technically and economically accessible for designers and engineers, at any scale, in the cloud.

Incorporate advanced physics solvers for all turbomachinery applications using CFD, heat transfer, and structural dynamics analyses. SimScale allows you to generate fast performance curves and analyze the fluid flow and thermomechanical behavior of the turbomachine under varying operating conditions.

Valves & Flow Control Applications

The SimScale workbench offers CFD, structural, and thermal analyses of valves, piping, and HVAC systems along with embedded pre and post-processing all through your web browser.

Bring in any kind of valve geometry and run a multiphysics simulation to obtain pressure drops and flow coefficient across operating points within minutes, and evaluate the structural response to fluid pressure as well as the thermomechanical stress on it.

Industrial Equipment & Machinery

For industrial equipment with rotating components, designers and engineers can run fast and accurate simulations of entire assemblies to reliably predict system-level performance and reduce time-to-market as well as cost of production. SimScale is perfectly suited for simulating all types of machinery and industrial equipment across many different industries, including construction, mining, automotive, chemical, and steel industries.

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.

“We have never used computer-aided engineering (CAE), and SimScale made it simple to start with. The support team was fundamental to bring us up to speed. The fact that it is cloud-based is a great aspect of SimScale; as it made it possible for us do some small changes on the CAD and simulate all proposals in parallel to see what was changing.”

Gavin Munro

Managing Director
“SimScale is an amazing platform that enables CAE to be carried out with minimal fuss and resources. Being cloud-based, it opens us access to anyone with an Internet connection and gives the ability to select the amount of cores to be used, therefore there is no physical computing power resource requirement for the user.”

Mark Byers

Senior Loads Engineer
“Being able to run many simulations in parallel on the cloud has been very useful and saved us a lot of time. Using SimScale has reduced our wind turbine testing by weeks. By simulating on the cloud with more cores than on a personal computer, we have been getting results about 3x quicker than if we run it locally, as before. We also save time on how quick it is to set up many similar simulations by duplicating and changing geometry or other input parameters.”

Julia Arnardottir

Mechanical Engineer and Simulation Expert
“The main advantage to use SimScale for us is to have a fast and simple way to get FEM calculation results. We don’t really need experience with Code_Aster but still get really quick and reliable results. Also, the subscription price is reasonable.”

Sandro Pinent

Managing Partner
“SimScale’s customer support is positively surprising, because usually the customer pays a lot of money but needs to wait days or even weeks for support reply. SimScale service has a very clear structure, that one account manager and one support engineer are my only points of contact to listen to my request, and positively keep me updated.”

Trond Gudmundsen

Founder
“I’ve run simulations of almost every type of pump I’ve designed over the past 40 years. The insight obtained from CFD simulations in SimScale is like looking inside a transparent machine using a laser doppler velocimeter. It is priceless!”

Guerreiro Romani

Industrial Engineer and Designer
“Using SimScale’s cloud-native rotating machinery technology, Hazleton Pumps was able to produce the entire pump curve for this model in seven minutes, which is a 99.9% reduction in simulation time compared to OpenFOAM. Each physical test at SABS cost Hazleton about $3000, not to mention the increase in time to market. from pre-processing to generating performance data, in only 23 minutes.”
