“I also like there there are courses from SimScale directly that teaches us not only the way to use it ; but also guides us on projects that can be done with it.”

Avash K.

“We are very happy with SimScale, as it is an affortable solution for product development and testing and allows access to quality simulations without the hardware and time limitations.”

“The mesh generation is also impressive, as it can be much more forgiving on complex geometry that we use, and for any issues, the documentation is extensive available online, along with great customer support. ”

Pros

“There is a steep learning curve, which is to be expected due to the amount of functionality. Once the basics are understood it is straightforward.”

Ian P.

Technical consultant

“I really liked the tool, with a bit of preknowledge and time, you can handle the features that are interesting you and I was able quickly to do what I needed in different features but I quickly understood that I was using only 10% of the tool.”

Antoine Q.

Testing project manager

“This is a really powerfull tool allowing to do almost everything that you want around the design in general.”

Antoine Q.

Testing project manager

Cons

“The 3D dynamic flow areas and the rotational area are a bit confusing to understand in the beginning with the reference content that is available.”

Siddhant P.

Assistant Manager

“Yes, sometime as user i feel that i am not able to fix the simulation file/model when it is failing to run and i have to take help from customer support. ”

Mehar A.

CFD Engineer

“That does not bring a CAD designer, it is only simulation, few post-processing options”

Julio B.

Desing Engineer

Cons

“The interface is not user friendly.”

Sebastien R.

CAD Designer

“It is also not compatible with all operating systems, making it difficult to use on certain platforms.”
