Outstanding CFD software for all types of projects
What do you like best about the product?
Web based CFD software that runs simulations of projects in parallel. Reducing time and increasing productivity.
The free accounts offer a great amount of processing credit per year (3000 core hours), which is computed through the cloud and via a super computer.
Resulting in your computer able to be used for other tasks.
The graphical representations and the ability to run simulations at the same time is the main reason i used this for my university project.
Also the help from the public forum and Simscale staff are vitally useful for when an extra person's input is needed to overcome any gremlins in a project.
The learning resources are additionally helpful to get upto speed with the settings and parameters used in the mesh and simulations stages.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only temporary drawback is the post processor is under a revamp, meaning i am using their previous post processor Paraview to obtain my visual screenshots and surface data contours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am researching into optimising my university's recent formula student car, whilst also addressing the benefits and disadvantages of using a full aerodynamic package as compared to optimised bodywork and Underbody.

nothing at alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Air engineering
This is a revolutionary design tool that combines CFD, FEA, and thermal simulation
What do you like best about the product?
After decades of dabbling in CFD, I finally found an analysis environment that was truly worth taking the time to get to know.
SimScales unique browser based workbench, which accesses remote supercomputer cores using proven OpenFOAM algorithms, makes professional design validation available for all who care to learn.
Combine that with a dedicated on-line forum that has very fast response time for all levels of help and there simply is no longer any reason to put off learning how to include these modern design disciplines into your design process.

What do you dislike about the product?
With about 200 new feature requests available for a user to vote on, SimScale limits the number of votes available to a user.
This requires a user to constantly review all 200 or more current feature suggestions to make sure the user is using his limited number of votes on the features most important to the user.
As a user I am not willing to constantly waste my time to determine where my few votes should go as new feature requests are added to the list. As a result I do not vote for any...

Give it a try!
Running large CFD simulations from the comfort of my sofa!
What do you like best about the product?
As a hobbyist I love the fact that I can perform free surface simulations, that would normally require a large work station, utilizing just my laptop and cloud based solving from the comfort of my sitting room.
The public forum and projects are brilliant learning resources and have helped me greatly in setting up my simulations.

What do you dislike about the product?
Manual meshing is fairly fiddly which can increase setup time. I will take a look at the automatic meshing process for my next simulations!
Post processing is not as intuitive as I would like and also quite unresponsive but maybe that is my internet connection.

Control Prototyping
What do you like best about the product?
Wiring a macro is easy and Very basic but one would understand in a better way what happens inside the software
What do you dislike about the product?
Here we can’t give any load conditions or boundary conditions and also we have to depend on other tool for preprocessing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A comprehensive modeling, simulation and computational implementation of buck converter using Simscale. It was way faster.
Reproduction is exceptionally educational with Simscale
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Simscale is based on officially great open source programming openFOAM enabling the designers to incorporate new highlights and redesigns effectively. It permits customization from client level and distribute the forks to the group.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a considerable measure of bugs and this should be settled. I frequently need to restart the program as it is stuck and this outcomes in information misfortune.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I did warm recreation on the motor complex to call attention to the strain focuses and increment the thickness of the material utilized.
Simulation is very informative with Simscale
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Simscale is built on already good open source software openFOAM allowing the developers to include new features and upgrades easily. It allows customization from user level and publish the forks to the community.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of bugs and this needs to be fixed. I often have to restart the program as it is stuck and this results in data loss.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I did thermal simulation on the engine manifold to point out the strain points and increase the thickness of the material used.
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.
