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.
Great Cloud-based Affordable CAE tool

What do you dislike about the product?
- Still being developed, new features are added all the time
- Requires internet
- It does not include CAD design tools
- Not widely known yet, so there are not as many validation cases for specific scenarios (although there are several validation cases in their documentation).

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.

Ease and ramp-up on the platform
What do you like best about the product?
It takes the minimum time to set up a simulation on Simscale comparing any other product in the market.
Extremely useful to quickly prototype simulation for various parameters?
Simulation data can be stored in the cloud. A great reduction in the IT infrastructure/human-resource for the SMEs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes pre-processing takes a lot of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I didn't solve any business problem but tried some sample projects on the platform. I had worked and is using Wolfram Modeller, Solidworks, Catia, Ansys, Rhinoceros, Autodesk and CFD softwares. It was also very diffcult to setup simulation on those platforms. Simscale has reduced that barrier for everyone to quickly ramp and prototype a simulation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Simscale allows you to have simulation data stored in the cloud. This can be a major benefit for all the companies who struggle to manage this data in-house saving overhead for IT infrastructure and human resource.
