What do you dislike about the product?
Meshing controls can be slightly generic at times - slider control is quite vague when setting mesh size.
CAD editing features have improved in recent times but still can be a little clunky when editing models. It would be nice to be able to section the models when defining constraints also.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Outsourcing simulation computing resource is very useful for a small organisation such as ours, where time is limited and results need to happen quickly!
Easy to learn, Simple to master
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive user interface, easy to learn. Once you've learnt your process it's so easy!
What do you dislike about the product?
Id like more tools to use on CFD studies. Especially more powerful post processing, like Paraview.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a student, CFD solutions can be far too expensive, not simscale.
An easy access and enjoyable application
What do you like best about the product?
There is great accessibility to the software which is crucial for beginners and students. Additionally, the cloud based services allow me to be more flexible with my work, I can allocate my systems memory towards other tasks while the cloud service performs my analysis work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite their being examples and articles providing advice or knowledge, more could be done. This would make the software more appealing to universities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have CFD analysis work as part of my course aswell as student team. I generally run compressible flow simulations on aircraft
Lots of support available, great for learning!
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Simscale for me is the user experience - it's easy to use and intuitive. The support available is great. The tutorials are very very helpful and I learned a great deal through them, especially considering this is my first time using CFD.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far I've experienced the issue of not being able to progress from where I've left off. My current project already had an external flow volume saved, boundary conditions and everything set up. I opened it again the next day and the flow volume disappeared, meaning I have to start over.

Analysis for my own research project
My First Experience Working with an Online Analysis Tool
What do you like best about the product?
This was my first experience using an analysis software that operates entirely through a web-based platform rather than a fully installed program on my computer.
Two aspects of SimScale truly impressed me in a very positive way.
First, the technical support team has been outstanding. They were always available to answer my questions with great efficiency and kindness. As a user, it is incredibly reassuring to know that I can rely on real professionals who provide immediate and personalized assistance whenever needed.
Second, the cloud-based nature of SimScale is a game-changer. Since all computations run on SimScale’s servers, I can perform complex simulations and manage large projects from any of my devices quickly and easily, without installing any software or needing high-end hardware. The ability to work from anywhere, without being tied to a fixed workstation, makes SimScale an invaluable tool for multiphysics analysis.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn’t say there’s anything I dislike about SimScale, but there are certainly a few areas that could be improved.
So far, I have only used SimScale for FEA and don’t have extensive hours on the platform yet. However, one of the first things I noticed is that whenever I want to modify a 3D file (such as simplifying the geometry) I always have to create a new copy instead of editing the existing file. It would be great to have the option to work directly on the same model without duplicating it.
Additionally, while SimScale offers excellent simplification tools, I found it more convenient to simplify 3D models in CAD software before importing them into SimScale. Enhancing these built-in simplification tools could make the workflow even smoother.
Regarding meshing, I would love to have more control over the mesh type selection, such as choosing between tetrahedral or hexahedral elements, as well as having more options to fine-tune mesh settings.
Lastly, one significant improvement would be expanding the materials catalog. Considering the wide range of metal alloys and the different heat treatments they can undergo, a more comprehensive selection would be highly beneficial.
I look forward to revisiting this feedback in a few months, once I have gained more experience with the platform and can provide a more in-depth perspective.

Complex CFD analysis can be made simple through simscale.
The team was very helpful in my projects and in places where I had difficulties.
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is easy to use, I can get a quick response from technical support and they are very helpful, the simulations are finished in a short time and since I do it over the cloud, it does not occupy my computer.
What do you dislike about the product?
The primitive geometries are few and difficult to place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
So far it has solved a lot of airflow simulations and temperature related tasks.
Excellent way to start in CFD
What do you like best about the product?
Simscale is a CFD which is easy to learn how to use even if you had never used a CFD. Doing the training projects you familiarize with basic things, and when you work in a real project you understand better.
The customer service is a 10/10, if you send an e-mail with some doubts, they will respond in less than one hour with feedback, somecases in a explainer video
You don´t need to install anything, it runs online.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We got the profile temperature in a chambear and we learn that the outlet temperature is equal to wall temperature, this way we identificate the reason of a important problem, also we got the velocity outlet from a chamber
We simulate a mix chamber with hot and cool air, this way we learn there were too much cool air

Modern, easy to grasp, accessible simulation software.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that SimScale can really be handled by people that did not have prior experience with simulations before. The online tutorials are really great and practical.
The support team is knowledgeable and helpful, you don't have to dwell for hours on the web to find the right way to do something. The creators are there to help you.
It's absolutely great that it's cloud based so I can run dozens of simulations at the same time. It greatly limits the resources that one needs to bring to run big simulations and you can keep doing what you were doing while the sims are running!
The basic package of modules that comes at a relatively low price is just great. I do not know another software that can offer me dynamic non-linear or basic CFD simulations for this price.
The interface is modern, accessible, user-friendly. It takes your hand and leads you to the end. It will point to any mistakes in the setup or the simulation itself. It's hard to go wrong with this one.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would say that the resource estimator is the biggest downside of SimScale at the moment. It is frequently underestimating the core hours needed to run something. However, the mistakes can be avoided by carefully following the simulation in the beginning and knowing good practices. But for beginner users it can be really frustrating.
The geometry preparation is a bit tedious and clunky.
It would be great if default units for typical solution fields could be changed and saved.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving both static and dynamic structural simulations as well as some thermal expansion cases. But we are yet to see the true benefits as we started using it just recently. I think it would be good to ask this question in a few months.
