Excellent way to start in CFD

  • February 07, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

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 do you dislike about the product?
Is not possible to simulate a phase change in SimScale like evaporation, just cavitation is available
When a particle trace crash with a rotating zone, particle trace disappears in an animation
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.

  • January 21, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

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.

Easy simulation package to pickup with great tutorials and support

  • January 02, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Really useful graphical explaination of boundary conditions. Cloud based compute is a game changer for being able to run large sims without locking down your computer for hours. Integration with Onshape is really helpful as well. Support from the SimScale team has been fantastic making the transition much smoother.
What do you dislike about the product?
Inbuilt modelling isn't great meaning that significant geometry changes require re-import from CAD package which is time consuming and needs re-setup time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
enabling structural and thermal simulations of our designs to understand performance and solve issues prior to manufacturing and testing prototypes. also design/performance optimisation

What do you like best about the product?
Simscale was fairtly Easier to use than other FEA softwares, also it gives accurate results.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it takes very long time to analyze the model.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped me to analyze a complicated bridge connection for my class

Satisfied of the interface, types of simulations and results

  • December 23, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The interface is simple and user-friendly.
The types of simulations available are convenient to what we are working on.
Error logs and warnings are easy to understand and to fix.
The support engineers are so helpful and professional and speak English very fluently. Kind stuff and master well the physics and computing codes in the backend.
Running simulations on SimScale is time saving thanks to the server computing cores and allow us to work simultaneously while the simulation is running.
The option of running multiple simulations at the same time is highly appreciated.
What do you dislike about the product?
CAD platform is not very rich of editing features, most of the times I have to edit the model in my CAD software and re-upload it again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thermal loads of electronic devices due to power dissipation and cooling solutions (passive or active)

Perfect tool for school

  • December 23, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The simulations we generate with Simscale are very useful to understand my courses at school, we use Simscale a lot to verify our work. The site is easy to implement since you don't have to dowload an app on your computer, and the website offers tutorials on how to use the different features.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not the easiest to use at first. Luckily I got it right during classes with the help of the teacher.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it at school and we use Simscale mostly to review thermal properties of materials

Very useful software for optimizing designs

  • December 20, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It has very wide capabilities in simulation including static, frequency analysis, thermal, and cfd that are very helpful in evaluating and optimizing designs. They have a great deal of technical support available from customer support engineers who can help with any technical issues when setting up simulations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm the only one at work who does mechanical design and I find that I go through periods during the product development cycle when I am too busy to use it so it sometimes doesn't get used as much as I would like. But then at other points in the design cycle I'm using it extensively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of the simulations I've done have been in optimizing the design of products by simulating fluid flow behavior sometimes combined with heat transfer. But lately I've also being doing static and vibration analysis of designs as well. Our marketing group have made good use of the fluid flow animations that it creates in order to illustrate how some of our products function.

Good introduction to CFD

  • December 20, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Best about simscale is the simple ui/ux design to help newcomers to CFD and simulations, which can be intimidating when using more raw options like APDL or raw OpenFoam
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be too simplistic, sometimes I could not find mathematical explanations for some of the calculation options, like the rotation zone in an incompressible axial fan analysis. Thankfully I could ask a teacher about it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Incompressible flow analysis
