SimScale is best
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that SimScale is opensource. Every new implementation is an open idea and can upgraded, publish, tweaks, which only makes the this software even more productive for the Analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
The solvers it provide very specific to domain of use. The compatibility issues still prevail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Simscale in CFD analysis for a valve action on the heat flow control system.
I moved from Openfoam to Simscale
What do you like best about the product?
The compatibility is the primary reason everyone should opt for this software. It integration with other CAE programs only adds the value and brings the best as a package.
What do you dislike about the product?
Recreation programming turns out to be exceedingly mind boggling because of the association between various physical models, arrangement methodologies, and solver settings. This prompts advancement bottlenecks and challenges in testing and approval.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since it is based on open-source openfoam program all the upgrades are publicly available and can be modified to users content.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
With more engineers and creators depending on SimScale for their simulation needs with various solvers. It is an effective program, with a lot of highlights to browse and a CAE community wherein everybody can team up and share their work with their verisons.
Great software and fantastic support.
What do you like best about the product?
I have access to many of the features I need in a CFD package, all from within the browser. But SimScale isn't just a great CAE package but is a great community and education resource. SimScale regularly conducts webinars on how to use its product in many industries, and also a community forum for discussion. SimScale staff are very close to their user base and regularly comment and interact in the forum. Regardless of the topic or complexity, there will always be someone with an answer.
CAE packages are normally not very easy to navigate and are overly complex. SimScale, however, is neat and intuitive. The user is initially presented with a dashboard of all the user's projects, within these project there are three main tabs. The tabs are in a logical order from preprocessing, sim design then post-processing. within each of these tabs is a tree containing each geometry, mesh or simulation each containing branches for setup. If you have forgotten to do something within a branch (we have all been there right?!) then it sticks out like a sore thumb as a big red ring, and if all criteria are met for a branch it is a green ring. The user can then fire of a simulation run, which is a snapshot of settings and results, the user may then make modifications to the setup and fire another run off.
When the results come back the user can choose to either post-process the results from right within the browser or they can download the results and post-process in Paraview. The user can also download a CSV of results from control items (such as force coefficients).

What do you dislike about the product?
SimScale are starting from scratch, which is, on one hand, good but it lacks a few features that some more advanced users may require. That said there is rapid growth, and staff monitor the forums for feature priority and ideas constantly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a student and a mac user my choice of CAE engineering software is pretty restricted and as a student my CFD knowledge was limited. SimScale solved both these problems and I feel that no other community would have given me the knowledge I have now in this amount of time. I have since used other simulation packages but none feel as intuitive in my opinion.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend that if you are reading this at least sign up for a free community account and give it a go.
A great platform with huge potential
What do you like best about the product?
I liked their working interface and the fact that I do not need to use any of my personal computing resources. I can directly submit jobs to the cloud and would be intimated over email when the job is finished.
In addition, I work across different platforms (Mac-Windows-Linux). Using a browser to setup simulations is extremely cool & really helpful

What do you dislike about the product?
As an academic user, I would like to freedom to try advanced models beyond what the boxes provide. This is something that I feel is a shortcoming. I also use other softwares like Abaqus & FEAP. FEAP is a open-source software. Abaqus is commercial. Both these allow for user elements and materials. As a material scientist, I find this extremely useful and necessary.
Of course, I understand that SimScale is not presently meant for such usage. But I hope that they would facilitate this in the coming future

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My primary area of research is in contact and fracture. I am also working with a start-up on composite materials. These are not the features that are supported by SimScale at the moment.
With SimScale, I am trying to develop simple simulation examples and tools that can be used for teaching purposes. The biggest benefit is that I can run on any platform & use Paraview conveniently to create nice animations that can help learning more fun & comprehensive.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
SimScale is a great platform with wonderful potential. The people at the company with whom I have interacted are really nice & I am extremely confident that they will take the company in the right direction. I strongly wish them all the very best. I will look forward to increasing our collaboration in the coming future.
Low-level user of trial version
What do you like best about the product?
Access to many different physics types. Entirely cloud-based.
What do you dislike about the product?
Entirely separated from originating CAD.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Checking out web-base options in comparison to traditional desktop solutions. Overall cost of ownership could be less for a solution like Simscale.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Simscale was the first entirely Web-based multiphysics simulation provider. In that regards, the bumps and turns in the road have been paved by them. In other regards, being Web-based they can and should continue the development of the toolsets keeping in mind that ease-of-use is paramount. That said, any novice user of higher-ended codes (such as ANSYS or COMSOL) should have no difficulty navigating the structural and fluid tools of Simscale.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Water cooling problems, aerodynamic analysis, structural problems, ambient cooling, leak propagation, etc. Optimization of design based on feedback.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to see their video tutorials.
Direct access to simulation computing power
What do you like best about the product?
I like the best the instant access to big computational power for Finite Elements and CFD analysis. Even on the free account, which demands your projects to be public, you can run simulations as big as 10 million CFD cells, on the cloud and without using any local resource, just an interface through your web browser. Also there is a really great community where one can learn from tutorials and public projects, ask questions and interchange opinions on simulation topics and specific problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still missing some crucial simulation functionality (such as finite elements structural models), but as stated by the company, this is coming. Also having a slow/intermittent internet connection can have a negative impact to productivity. Companies with restricted web access might not be able to use the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Until now on evaluation and test projects, also learning and interacting with the community. Benefits are the direct access to computational power otherwise expensive and always sub-utilized, and the community support.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A must try for every simulation engineer, this is what could based engineering and simulation is all about.
Amazing Cloud based Simulations Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Simscale is pretty great! You have access to large simulation power, hard drive storage power and that too for free. It is easy to use and also has large amount of documentation. The best thing about SimScale has been its staff! The staff is really helpful. The staff was always ready to help whenever I had any problem. There is also an amazing forum with lot of knowledge. SimScale supports lot of CFD tools like various fluid models, turbulence models, passive - scalar transport, various numerical scheme. I am student and I am still learning CFD and SimScale has given a great insight into CFD.
What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks some features especially relating to the geometrical screen but it is adopting them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall, I will say that it is an amazing product with a lot of amazing people behind!!
Engineering in the Cloud!
What do you like best about the product?
For many years I've told and by experience that CAE software requires a lot of space and resources, this means you need a reasonable decent computer if you want to run large simulations, well, with Simscale I can run the same large simulations even from a tablet!
What do you dislike about the product?
Just happened to me once and was for a very short period of time, when the servers goes offline or you have issues because something in the server side, it was quickly solved and because the nature of Simscale been in servers I'm surprised about the availability of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently I'm teaching Engineering at University level and Simscale is the best option ever for software engineering, my students can signup for free and do their homework at home!, just with the access to a web browser, and also I can review their progress at the same time, this is highly valuable!.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Aside of the thousands! saved over a conventional Engineering Software, you don have to have a high performance machine, you can run several simulations at the same time without the necessity of computers turned on, you get an email when any simulation finishes and you have the team of Simscale willing to help you in anything. :)
One of the best CFD online tool
What do you like best about the product?
The website simulation is very useful for the wide range of application in the real engineering problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. Sometimes, without the connection, it is really hard but it is not fault the software and SimScale.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Because my work is based on CFD simulation on the OpenFOAM sofware package I really appreciate for that oppurtunity for simulation with SimScale. I am focused on the CFD/CAA application.
