SimScale Reviews & Product Details

The fact that I can load up several simulation variations and run them in parallel...all from my laptop while traveling is AMAZING for my productivity. I'll never go back to a big expensive personal computer that I'm chained down to.

While cloud is great, people matter even more. My contact from the Simscale support team has been my mentor and coach through onboarding with the platform, and helping troubleshoot some tricky geometry. I value the best practices he shares and that the in-bullt chat feature brings me right to him. Had I known the support was so good it would have been easier for me to justify the purchase internally more quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There have been times when I've desired a cylindrical coordinate system, or radial symmetry. However I'm still able to run and learn everything needed from my models without such symmetry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simscale offers an educational and simple interface that allows for the successful execution of simulations. What has been most useful to me are the fluid dynamics analysis simulations, in which you can see the behavior of fluid velocity, drag forces, temperature profiles, and more. Really, highly recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface for designing parts is not very good. However, you can import Solidworks files, which has never given me any problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The excellent models that it offers, as well as the cloud-based computing features -- FEA and CFD of high fidelity is now accessible, without having to purchase expensive hardware and licenses to run it yourself. The ability to access the post-processed data is amazing as well. I would love to have a feature where we can set planar boundary conditions inside a flow domain, though!

Nothing at all, really. The supoprt team is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, Ease of Implementation,Customer Support.

Calculations are performed in the cloud - I can perform many calculations at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few minor things - for example

I would like the loads to be shown on the model Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great suppport for our users.

Open for discussion reagarding features and integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right now there is nothing I dislike. A year ago it would have been easier to give a feedback: there was no online user administration. Today we have it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the fast simulation time is helpful as well as the included mesh analysis Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

difficult to add additional surfaces in the change geometry section Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used SimScale Academic plan for writing a paper on Aircraft Aerodynamics, hence I only used their CFD simulations, so that will be the subject of my review. However, SimScales offers much more than that.

I consider the interface very intuitive, at least for the standarts of CFD software.

The option the upload an external 3D files is very convinient and the results and output is presented in a simple, easy to understand form and further process.

I appreatiate the fact that SimScale simulations run on their own servers and therefore don't use your computer's memory. That allows you to run several simulations at once, while doing something else or even turning off your computer.

And last but not least, I would like to praise their customer support, it is simply amazing. They are very polite and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the downsides of SimScale (at least community and academic plans - not quite sure how it is for the different proffessional plans) is the limited amount of core hours for computing simulations. That is, however, well balanced by the speed and the fact they run fully on cloud.

Sometimes I was a bit puzzled about what exactly the errors with my simulation were, so there could be some improvements in that aspect. Although that might partially be just a poor understanding on my end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's great the fact that you can not run locally in your laptop so you don't depend on your own machine capabilities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the fact that the free account just allows 10 sims Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Extremely easy to use and not intimidating (like other FEA or CFD software)

- Cloud based allowing for simultaneous simulation

- CAD edition feature (extremely useful)

- Data extraction and simulation visualisation directly in software

- Quick and useful support

I use it nearly every day now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Lack of high level in-depth mesh parameters , but honestly it's not so useful 99% of the time, Simscale does a great job with automatic settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
