History

SimScale was founded by five graduates of TU Munich in 2012[3] and first launched online in 2013.[4]. In September 2024, the company announced that it had 600,000 registered users on its platform.[5]

Features

The thermal module allows uncoupled thermo-mechanical,[6] conjugate heat transfer and convective heat transfer simulations.[7]

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.[8] QRC Technologies performed thermal simulations on SimScale to test multiple variations of their RF tester.[9]

Marketing

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.[10][11][12][13][14] It includes a one-time allotment of 3000 computation hours and 500 GB of storage for any registered user.[15] Simulations and projects created by a user registered under the plan are accessible to all other users within the public project library.[1]
