Ease of use, cloud based and technical support

SimScale is exceptionally straightforward to use. Currently, we have only used the FEA side of SimScale, but have been very impressed. Not only is the software great, but the technical support that we receive with our subscription is phenomenal. Namely, Igor has been an incredible asset in providing tips/tricks and insight while using SimScale. SimScale also seamlessly integrates with our 3D software, Onshape. We are able to select the exact version of a part or assembly and import directly into SimScale.

SimScale combines an intuitive browser-based interface with the flexibility of a professional FEM solver. Onboarding was quick and easy, even coming from ANSYS, and the UI lets me focus on building solid engineering models instead of spending time on setup or IT infrastructure. The biggest upsides for me (as a freshly started engineering service provider) are the excellent technical support (fast, personal, and very helpful), the fact that I don’t need to invest in expensive hardware or server setups, and the fair pricing. For everyday structural simulations (static, harmonic, dynamic, thermomechanical) it delivers everything I need. The constant updates and user-requested features are also a strong plus, showing that the platform evolves fast according to the needs of their users.
