SimScale
Cloud-based computer-aided engineering (CAE) and simulation platform"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SimScale is a computer-aided engineering (CAE) software platform for engineering AI & simulation. SimScale was developed by SimScale GmbH and integrates computational fluid dynamics, finite element analysis, thermal, and electromagnetic simulations with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enable rapid virtual testing and design exploration.[1][2] The backend of the platform uses both open source and proprietary simulation codes and Physics AI surrogate modeling frameworks using Graph Neural Networks.[3] The platform is cloud-based and accessed through a web browser.[1]

History
Features
The thermal module allows uncoupled thermo-mechanical,[7] conjugate heat transfer and convective heat transfer simulations.[8]
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.[9] QRC Technologies performed thermal simulations on SimScale to test multiple variations of their RF tester.[10]
Community Plan
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.[11][12][13][14][15] It includes a one-time allotment of 3000 computation hours and 500 GB of storage for any registered user.[16] Simulations and projects created by a user registered under the plan are accessible to all other users within the public project library.[1]
