Introduction
The SimScale 3D online simulation platform helps engineers
build better products in a shorter period of time.
• The user uploads a CAD model to the platform.
• Preprocessing is done with complete workflow and 3D interaction.
• Simulation is set up via an intuitive user interface.
• Post-processing: Results can be processed and evaluated in 3D.
• The user can validate and modify the design based on the simulation
results.

SimScale supports numerous simulation types, including:

- Solid Mechanics / FEA
- Fluid Dynamics / CFD
- Thermodynamics
- Acoustics
- Particle Analysis

Introduction (continued)
Users can interactively work together with colleagues, clients,
partners, and industry experts.

• Get started with little or no Computer-aided Engineering (CAE)

experience; our users range from students to experienced
professionals.
• SimScale is “crowdsourcing” simulation knowledge and making it
accessible for everyone. Already more than 10 000 simulation
projects are publicly available, serving as templates for your
simulations.

Competitive advantages
• SimScale provides pay-as-you-go prices dramatically lower than
existing products, and provides publicly-available projects free
of charge.
• Completely web-based – no local hardware necessary, scalable
and on-demand.
• The SimScale platform is a solid simulation environment.

• Reduce wall thickness
• Validate experimental results
• Prevent stress peaks and material failures
• Compare design variations
• Predict displacements and dynamic behaviors
• Conduct parametric studies
Understand
In contrast to physical experiments – which are severely limited by
the measured value acquisition – simulation enables an unrestricted
observation of all physical quantities in a model.
This makes it possible to not only gather, but understand the
test results.
• Investigate force fluxes
• Figure out critical features and reduce complexity

Use simulation to optimize your design: • Validate experimental results
• Reduce pressure drops • Run parametric studies
• Homogenize flow • Structural coupling
• Improve laminar and turbulent mixing

In contrast to physical experiments which are massively limited by
the measured value acquisition, simulation enables an unrestricted
