GM Gavin M. Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/20/2026 "Effective Tool with Room for UI Improvement" 3/5 What do you like best about SimScale? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SimScale? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SimScale 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/23/2024 "Good user interface that supports a logical sequencing of model set up." 3/5 What do you like best about SimScale? It is quite user friendly and is quite handy for a beginner to pick up. There are good tutorials and plenty of documentation that you can read to better understand what the software is doing and how it operates. The support is pretty good to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SimScale? Some of the more detailed and intricate settings that you may like to tweek in your fluid sims can be hidden or impossible to edit as they are present and fixed in some simulation types. It's still in development which means some features you would like or have in other software is not avaliable yet. The support is in europe which is problematic when you are in a different time zone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SimScale solving and how is that benefiting you? It is a cost effective solution to our simulation needs. We don't have to pay the significant licensing costs associated with other simulation software. We are also using Simscales Core hours which frees up our machines for other things.

CS Christopher S. Product Development Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 10/24/2016 "Low-level user of trial version" 3/5 What do you like best about SimScale? Access to many different physics types. Entirely cloud-based. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SimScale? Entirely separated from originating CAD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering SimScale: 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SimScale 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
