It was a amazing experience. Learning simscale is quite easier and user friendly.
What do you like best about the product?
The biggest problem for me was the computational power which is solved by using Simscale. The meshing and simulation still run if you turn off your internet or computer, which is an excellent thing. The forum in Simscale is also beneficial and active.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside is you need good internet to use Simscale. As a user, when we import geometry instead of solid, we have to select faces for forces and moments option (which is very painful) and still now I have not got any solution to this. Post-processing part can be improved more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simscale helps us in the design process of our car. It is time effective.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easier to learn.
Great online software with very good learning resources
What do you like best about the product?
The workshops offered by the SimScale team are very useful to learn the basics of usage and even CFD concept, so I tend to recommend it to my students.
The fact that is an online app, let you access it from anywhere and with any computer, without the need of having huge computational resources for your CFD simulations.

What do you dislike about the product?
Post-processing might be a bit slow for large CFD simulations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used mainly for external flows, and to prepare academic cases for my students. I find it very useful and with a very good integrated work pipeline.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
SimScale is based on OpenFoam, so consider learning OpenFoam functionaltity as well to improve your experience.
Simscale: Great enterprise with fantastic staff
What do you like best about the product?
The cloud based computing is the best aspect of Simscale in my experience. The cloud based nature lowers the bar of entry. I can work with Simscale anywhere with wifi through my laptop, which is a great advantage. Additionally, I did not need to purchase an expensive workstation or PC to start running simulations!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside I have encountered so far is the limited number of computing cores offered to free users. That said, the fact that they offer free personal accounts at all is a fairly unique opportunity in this realm of software/engineering modelling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been working primarily on CFD simulation problem. Next, I plan on starting thermal modelling.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There is a bountiful supply of simulation tutorials and discussion available. Take advantage of the free resources.
Excellent software, coupled with the benefits of cloud computing
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent support, the software features meet my needs, and the benefit of cloud computing allows me to have much freedom, since I don't need to use an expensive cluster in order to run complex CFD simulations, nor need to keep my PC busy for a week in order to run a simulation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am relatively new user, so I still couldn't find any downside to the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Desiging the aerodynamic package of our Formula SAE Electric car, and also analysing cooling option for our powertrain.
FABULOUS SOFTWARE PROVIDES FEM AND CFD UNDER ONE UMBRELLA
What do you like best about the product?
All sorts of basic FEA analysis like static, dynamic, modal analysis can be done in this software. I even used this software for the CFD analysis of flow in pipe. Active customer support and chat options available for the smooth flow of work. A happy user so far.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mesh nodes cannot be selected for applying loads.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basic mechanical structure design problems are being carried out in the software. Compare the analytical results with the simulation answers. Confidence in the design is the benefit you can achieve.
Always a positive experience
What do you like best about the product?
There are so many aspects of Simscale that I like but probably the best is the flexible access, allowing me to use the facilities when I have a simulation project and not waste money on underutilised hardware of software when I don't have a project. And of course the support is second to none.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are downsides? I found the previous meshing tool a little awkward but it is now much improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The cases are very varied. Building flow, internal and external have featured. The flexible cloud-based access is ideal for my role as a cimulation consultant.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start of with a trial and don't be shy about asking for support. They will usually solve queries very quickly and pass on useful tips along the way.
One of the best software and platform to learn and implement CFD and other engineering simulations.
What do you like best about the product?
The prompt response by the technical support team, the workshops conducted, the community and the forums all add up to the experience of SimScale A first time user can make use of the features without a problem and an advance level user has the freedom to tweak the simulation according to the model. The cloud based computing also drastically reduces the time required and parallel computing helps compare different iterations effortlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Simscale has always been improving to ensure best customer satisfaction. I have always run out of core hours even after additional hours have been added multiple times by the SimScale team. That just goes to prove how important and useful this software has been to the work. Apart from the limited core hours the post processing is one aspect where SimScale can improve by providing many more options and giving users more freedom to play around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using SimScale to simulate the aerodynamic loads on a FSAE style race-car. I have also been using it to simulate the cooling of the batteries in the accumulator and of the radiator. The cloud based parallel computing has allowed me to iterate a lot more than i could conventionally have. It wouldn't have been possible to design simulate or improve the performance of the car without SimScale.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start by seeing all the videos and workshops provided by SimScale. Go through similar public projects and make full use of the community and the support group.
Great support and program
What do you like best about the product?
The support guys are incredibly helpful at answering questions and troubleshooting your simulations to find the bugs. This cloud-based program makes modeling so much easier - you can access it from anywhere, and it is capable of solving large, complex problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The time zone difference between support and the western US was a bit challenging (Europe, ~8 hrs later) But they were reliable and got back to me within a few days.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were modeling a 2-phase tank filling at high speed, and analyzing the fluid flow. Despite the challenging conditions, this program gave us the results we needed to justify a design change that improved the safety of the system.
Very accommodating and great service!
What do you like best about the product?
We are from a student design team and our contact from Simscale was able to meet all of our asks and was extremely helpful when we ran into problems. Furthermore, the technical support for our team was receptive as well. Overall fantastic!
What do you dislike about the product?
We have been using a lot of Core hours but I don't think that's Simscale's fault!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team is optimizing the aerodynamic efficiency of our car. In order to do this, we have been leveraging Simscale to run simulations on models of our aerobody. Maximizing our aerodynamic efficiency will be one of the most important factors in determining the success of our team and it couldn't be done without Simscale.
Real problem-solving support
What do you like best about the product?
The level of support is the best feature I´ve found as new user.
Being aware that usually there is a final customer expecting results, I´ve found the support really efficient at clarifying doubts, explaining related features so they anticipate future problems and solving the issue so you can continue working to deliver.
Even when there is some feature that does not properly work for any reason, they just take the case and fix/do it themselves.
It is really a life-saving service, specially with a customer awaiting results.

What do you dislike about the product?
The workflow, however optimized and fast, is different from traditional CFD and must be learnt.
Some problems or things done differently will always arise.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting away from traditional CFD workflow limitations, license and scalability costs
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Run some test cases from start to finish with your own geometry. The workflow is great but must be learnt because of its differences with tradditional CFD one.
