SimScale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SimScale is a computer-aided engineering (CAE) software product based on cloud computing. SimScale was developed by SimScale GmbH and allows computational fluid dynamics, finite element analysis and thermal simulations.[1][2] The backend of the platform uses open source and proprietary simulation codes. The open source codes include:

| Developer(s) | SimScale GmbH |
|---|---|
| Initial release | 2013 |
| Platform | Web browser |
| Type | Computer-aided engineering |

The proprietary simulation codes include:
The cloud-based platform of SimScale allows users to run more simulations, and in turn iterate more design changes, compared to traditional local computer-based systems.[4]
History
SimScale was launched in 2013.[5]
Features
The thermal module allows uncoupled thermo-mechanical,[6] conjugate heat transfer and convective heat transfer simulations.[7]
Industrial applications
Japan-based Tokyowheel — a company that engineers technical carbon fiber racing wheels for competitive cyclists — used SimScale's CFD software component to determine the most aerodynamic wheel profile.[4] QRC Technologies performed thermal simulations on SimScale to test multiple variations of their RF tester.[8]
Marketing
On 2 December 2015, a community plan was announced making the platform accessible free of charge, based on a new investment round led by Union Square Ventures.[9][10][11][12][13] It includes a one-time allotment of 3000 computation hours and 500 GB of storage for any registered user.[14] Simulations and projects created by a user registered under the plan are accessible to all other users within the public project library.[1]
SimScale has also organized several free webinars:
