Effective Software with Highly Responsive Service Team
What do you like best about the product?
SimScale is a user-friendly platform with an accommodating service team. My favorite aspect of using SimScale is that I can run multiple simulations while I work on other job tasks. I've often started several simulations at the same time just before I left to go home for the day, only to see that they had finished by the time I got home. Whenever I hit a snag, I can reach out to the support team and usually have a solution quickly. The animation recording feature that was added recently is also beneficial in presenting qualitative results in reports or explanations to others.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn't say there is anything that I dislike about SimScale. However, I wish there was an FEA option for directly performing buckling analysis. It would also be helpful to have a way of performing more complicated 2-phase CFD.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work in a chemical plant and have used the CFD and FEA tools that SimScale offers. With their products, I've designed a specialized mixing tee to combat thermal fatigue using their CFD options, performed several static FEAs on various items such as pipe supports and piping connections, and performed Fitness-for-Service assessments.
Clean, straightforward web-based simulation software
What do you like best about the product?
Simscale has a clean user-interface that is not daunting to navigate. Additionally, it is nice that it works seamlessly with Onshape. It also runs relatively quickly, and has some excellent customer support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Simscale lacks some of the more complex coupled structural analysis required in my work. Additionally, it was a little difficult for me at first to learn how to generate a good mesh as it is done slightly differently than I am used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They are helping us overcome the lack of coupled structural analysis, which is critical for our projects. Their customer service has been outstanding in communicating and supporting us.

Technical support is outstanding.
What do you like best about the product?
For my needs simscale has been extremely helpful. I got technical help to begin my first simulations, and I got fast technical support for additional issues that came up. They keep adding more capabilities too and listen to customer needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally the web based post-processing page loads the models a bit slow, but for the most part, it works well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to model the flow in a rapidly developing heat exchanger, and Solidworks flow had a large entry point and the technical support is good, but simscale has far exceeded that.
Simscale Air Flow Patterns
What do you like best about the product?
Simscale has helped me significantly by allowing me to process more accurate data when evaluating a building's indoor air quality. The product has taken my business to the next level of technical competence and allows me to provide better solutions for my clients. It was a game changer for my business.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their is nothing I dislike about Simscale
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simscale models airflow patterns within a building space which is used during the design stage or evaluation stage of my products. It enables me to identify problems quickly and resolve them easily by changes in my design.
Impressive Speed and Support!
What do you like best about the product?
SimScale's calculations are incredibly swift, making it a standout choice. Its LBM-based simulations are lightning-fast, leaving competing software in the dust. This remarkable performance is made possible by leveraging cloud systems and implementing cutting-edge CFD techniques.
In addition to its impressive speed, SimScale also offers top-notch online support. Count on the presence of knowledgeable experts who are always ready to assist you.

What do you dislike about the product?
While SimScale has impressive speed, it's important to note that it may not have all the features you expect. For example, the software currently lacks a dedicated FSI solver, which may be a limitation for certain simulations. Additionally, the post-processing section has room for improvement to enhance analysis and visualization capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simulation of urban wind flow, analysis of building thermal behavior, and optimal placement of wind turbines.
Easy to use and very fast CFD-simulation tool
What do you like best about the product?
Simscale excels on several levels. First, it has a very intuitive user interface that guides you through the parameter setup in a structured way. On the other hand, the CFD simulations run very robustly and extremely fast. In case of problems, the support is fast and solution-oriented.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, major changes to the geometry are still very time-consuming, which is partly due to the control system in the CAD area, which takes some getting used to. In addition, special outputs can only be obtained awkwardly. Here, however, one can count on the help of the support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Outdoor wind comfort assessment, air movement analysis in rooms and spaces
Happy since 2019, and it has only gotten better!

Outstanding tool
What do you like best about the product?
The reason behind our selection of SimScale as our CFD simulation tool was the potential minimum time to start simulating and showing results since we would be able to use existing examples and case studies as the base for ours. Our expectations have been met and exceeded so far, in both the system functionality and the customer service. We have been able to show results in some phenomena that are really complex to show with formulas, in much less time than expected.
What do you dislike about the product?
As in all new tools and systems, the first simulations can be hard to understand, especially when defining the inlet and outlet boundary conditions. I recommend to invest in the first training hours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SimScale has helped us to show a model for some aerodynamical phenomena happening in our quality control equipments for the metallurgical industry. It has also been useful to select the right technology for some blowers and compressors that interact with our process
Excellent user-friendly simulation software for novices and advanced users.
What do you like best about the product?
Incredible real-time support and straightforward simulation setup. A new user can be up and running in a short amount of time even without formal training. The meshing algorithms are very good and appear to accurately capture the physics without too much manual intervention. I've been formally trained with primarily COMSOL Multiphysics, but I was able to get started on SimScale in a fraction of the time. SimScale makes it much easier to set up and run complex analyses such as physical contact with much less pain than COMSOL.
I really enjoy the overall workflow and excellent integration with our CAD package, OnShape. Finally, new features are constantly added without requiring a new license or update as software updates are pushed directly to the cloud-based software. If I have any questions regarding the software or simulation help, tech support is nearly real-time. Shoutout to Ricardo for his patience and incredible support!

What do you dislike about the product?
The boundary conditions and analysis types are somewhat convoluted; certain boundary conditions are only available in certain analysis types for no clear reason. For example, the radiation boundary condition is not available in Heat Transfer, but it is in convective or conjugate heat transfer. To this day, I'm still not quite sure what the difference between Conjugate Heat Transfer and Conjugate Heat Transfer v2.0. If I spend all the time setting up the boundary conditions for one analysis type and want to switch, I have to redo all the boundary conditions which is somewhat frustrating.
Due to the cloud nature of the software, analyses for simple problems can take significantly longer than other software. Meshing in particular takes a good amount of time to complete, especially if I have to iterate through the mesh. This was a very fast process in COMSOL as the mesh was locally computed. 2D analyses are also sorely missed for simple problems.
