What do you dislike about the product?
actually its quite perfect and finding disorderness in simscale is bit difficult till now i haven't got any problem regarding anything so there no reasons to dislike it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
actually we are start up organisation in project we come across mau uncertainties' regarding fluid, thermal, dynamic and static so instead on designing blind now we are using simscle to validate the design and makinf design validation process (DVP)
Empowers Fast, Easy Simulation for Product Development
What do you like best about the product?
I use SimScale at my hydrogen production startup and appreciate how it simulates structural and fluid flow phenomena, guiding our design process and speeding up product development. SimScale's cloud computing capabilities allow us to run parallel simulations without needing expensive in-house computing. I like the user interface; it's easy to use and very powerful for a browser-based tool, making difficult physics simulations less intimidating. The consistent setup flow across different physics types and straightforward meshing, with a reliable automesher, save me a lot of time. I find it convenient to access SimScale on any device, including my phone, to check simulation statuses and rerun cases if needed. The initial setup was very easy, and the trial was sufficient to get up to speed. Overall, SimScale has been a valuable tool in our operations.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some results settings missing in the multipurpose solver that I would like to see such as field calculations or isovolume specific statistics. Also the CAD editor built in can be frustrating to use, specifically that selection groups cannot be edited and also that the CAD editing steps in the middle of the tree cannot be edited without deleting all subsequent steps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use SimScale to guide our design process with simulations, speeding up development. Cloud computing reduces costs, and the browser-based interface is user-friendly, allowing access from any device. Consistent simulation setup and efficient meshing save time.
Effective Tool with Room for UI Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I like the direct connection between SimScale and Onshape, which allows me to import models straight from Onshape into SimScale. It's much quicker and saves me from having to export a model from Onshape and then re-import it back into SimScale.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mesh analysis in SimScale is clunky and needs quite a lot of work to make it more slick and easier to use. The initial setup was fairly lengthy because I wasn't an expert in computational fluid dynamics or finite element analysis, and I needed a lot of interaction with the service team to get up and running.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SimScale helps me verify if the working pressure of items is accurate and ensures differential pressure is within expected ranges. Importing models from Onshape into SimScale is quicker and saves me from the tedious export and reimport process.
Streamlined Cloud Simulations That Do the Heavy Lifting
What do you like best about the product?
The cloud does the heavy lifting with the simulations, and a lot of work has clearly gone into streamlining the simulation workflows
What do you dislike about the product?
The CAD editor is a bit limited, and it is often faster to modify the geometry (ie splitting faces) in a CAD program and re-uploading it. Also some of the options are not always very obvious about what they do, but this is not too different from most Simulation tools
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast turnaround on complex mechanical design work and simulations
User-Friendly & Easy to Navigate Without CFD/FEA Expertise
What do you like best about the product?
The user-friendly interface allows me to jump back in and confidently set up new simulations after not using the platform for a while. It's easy to navigate without a comprehensive background in CFD or FEA.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of predefined reports/templates for sharing results. It is time consuming to pull screenshots at different angles and with different filters shown each time to put into a manually created PDF with manually entered results for dissemination.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simscale allows my team to validate concepts much earlier in our process and identify thermal issues from a CAD model and iterate well before thermal testing on the first prototype, leading to shorter test cycles and faster design pivots prior to tooling investments.
Clean UI, Powerful FEA/CFD, and Expert Support in One Platform
What do you like best about the product?
SimScale is the easiest to use simulation platform that I've used. I love that the user interface is clean and clear, and that you can do good quality defeaturing and meshing along with FEA and CFD all in one place. It accepts CAD in all formats I expect.
The FEA capability is very high now (great implicit solver) with the Non Linear Mechanical simulation type.
I also often use the chat feature to talk to SimScale's simulation experts who always give good advice and help get to the bottom of the problem at hand.

What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't yet have feature parity with some of the other big simulation tools, but I generally find that I can simulate what I want to in SimScale.

Versatile Online CFD Tool with Stellar Support
What do you like best about the product?
I really like that SimScale is online, which means I can open it anywhere and compute multiple simulations. This is particularly helpful because I often need to run 10 simulations simultaneously and compare them, saving me time. Additionally, the support team is very helpful, making the initial setup quite easy with their assistance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The postprocessor interface is great but there's room for improvement. Sometimes, the Y axis is set to be pointing upwards, and I have to keep switching it. It would be nice if we can change the configurations and work with the Z axis pointing upwards. There are still things that need to be done in other postprocessors from other programs, like extracting the velocity data from an area to use it as an inlet in another simulation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use SimScale to analyze air diffuser behavior. It's beneficial for running and comparing multiple simulations simultaneously, saving me time. Its online access means I can open it anywhere, and their helpful support enhances my experience.
Great Usability and Support, but Lacks Configurability
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, cloud based and technical support
What do you dislike about the product?
post processing capabilities are low and configurability and features are also low
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
pump performance and tank mixing, able to look at design iterations quickly
Excellent software, excellent support
What do you like best about the product?
SimScale is exceptionally straightforward to use. Currently, we have only used the FEA side of SimScale, but have been very impressed. Not only is the software great, but the technical support that we receive with our subscription is phenomenal. Namely, Igor has been an incredible asset in providing tips/tricks and insight while using SimScale.
SimScale also seamlessly integrates with our 3D software, Onshape. We are able to select the exact version of a part or assembly and import directly into SimScale.

What do you dislike about the product?
My only gripe against SimScale is its controls (fly, rotate, pan). It is difficult to go back and forth between various software, and need to mentally adjust between controls. I'd love to see this be more user preference driven.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SimScale offers more informative data to us than other FEA software that we have used. We are able to easily and quickly see how our parts or assemblies will perform under loads/vibrations.
powerful and intuitive cloud-based FEA-tool with great support
What do you like best about the product?
SimScale combines an intuitive browser-based interface with the flexibility of a professional FEM solver. Onboarding was quick and easy, even coming from ANSYS, and the UI lets me focus on building solid engineering models instead of spending time on setup or IT infrastructure.
The biggest upsides for me (as a freshly started engineering service provider) are the excellent technical support (fast, personal, and very helpful), the fact that I don’t need to invest in expensive hardware or server setups, and the fair pricing.
For everyday structural simulations (static, harmonic, dynamic, thermomechanical) it delivers everything I need. The constant updates and user-requested features are also a strong plus, showing that the platform evolves fast according to the needs of their users.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some clients of mine expect me to use “big-name” software just for the sake of it, which is not a technical issue but can be a practical one as a freelancer.
Under the standard mechanical FEA license, SimScale is not yet at the same level of solver robustness and feature depth as flagship tools like ANSYS. Very specialized modelling (e.g. advanced composites, multiphysics, or extreme nonlinear / dynamic cases) can be tricky or even impossible, and the solver stability can occasionally be an issue on more demanding setups.
While the platform is improving rapidly and a new MARC solver is promising (but rather costly), for very niche requirements you may still need additional (and much more expensive) tools.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SimScale eliminates the need for expensive local hardware and IT setups, which is a huge benefit as an independent engineering office. I can run professional simulations directly in the browser on a laptop, scale computing resources as needed, and focus on the actual engineering instead of infrastructure. The platform also shortens the learning curve thanks to its intuitive UI, so I can get models up and running quickly. Combined with responsive technical support, this allows me to deliver reliable simulation results without the overhead of traditional FEM software. From a business perspective, the pricing and flexibility make it possible for me to offer simulation services at a competitive rate, while still accessing professional-grade tools.
