Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.
Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

SimScale overview
What is SimScale?
SimScale is a cloud-native solution for fluid flow, structural, and thermal engineering simulation (CFD & FEA) that works end-to-end in a standard web browser. From CAD geometry upload and meshing to simulation setup and post-processing, the entire process for virtually testing a design happens online, with no installation or special hardware required.
Fluid flow (CFD) simulations allow for laminar and turbulent flow modeling, mass transport, and cavitation plus support for multi-phase, steady-state, and transient setups. Structural simulations (FEA) provide linear, nonlinear, static dynamic, modal, and frequency analysis for stress and deformations. Heat transfer analysis supports conduction, convection, and radiation to understand temperature and heat flux, plus thermal stress and conjugate heat transfer between fluids and structures.
Aside from its intuitive UI and modeling environment and rich graphical rendering, SimScale also provides collaboration tools enabling multiple designers and engineers to work on given projects regardless of their locations. SimScale also offers access to a wider public community where users can simulate and share within a user base of over 300,000 engineering professionals, leveraging existing public templates to create new simulation projects.
