Introduction
SimScale is a web-based environment providing powerful end-to-end simulation solutions.
SimScale © 2016

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.

Finite Element Analysis (Structural Mechanics)
Why structural simulation?
Optimize
Use simulation to optimize your design:
• Reduce wall thickness
• Prevent stress peaks and material failures
• Predict displacements and dynamic behaviors
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
• Identify fundamental eigenmodes
Prove
With the use of simulation, you are able to convince your customers
and suppliers of the functionality of your products. Moreover, you can
precisely support the development of these products with data and
analysis.
• Validate experimental results
• Compare design variations
• Conduct parametric studies

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Why Flow simulation?
Optimize
Use simulation to optimize your design:
• Reduce pressure drops
• Homogenize flow
• Improve laminar and turbulent mixing
Understand
In contrast to physical experiments which are massively 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 gain but also understand test results.
• Locate flow separations
• Investigate transient effects
• Identify physical interactions
Prove
With the use of simulation, you can precisely support product
development with data and analysis.
• Run parametric studies
• Structural coupling

Thermodynamics
Thermal analysis in your web browser

Thermodynamics
Why Thermal simulation?
Optimize
• Improve cooling effects
• Identify optimal materials
• Foresee thermal expansion and conduct a thermal stress
analysis
Understand
• Investigate temperature distribution
• Comprehend thermomechanical coupling
• Track heat flux
Prove
• Compare steady-state and transient
• Investigate energy loss and thermodynamics

Open Source
OpenFOAM®
OpenFOAM® is a toolbox for solving complex Computational Fluid
Dynamics problems. It contains a wide range of physical models
(including turbulence, wall treatment, thermodynamics and mass
transport), numerical methods and tools for pre- & post-processing.
Developed at the Imperial College in London, OpenFOAM® offers
impressive accuracy and is extensively validated in academic and
industrial environments. It is continuously being developed and
expanded by a large community of scientists, experts, and industrial
customers, ensuring rapid implementation of new technologies.
As a result, OpenFOAM® has recently replaced several commercial
codes.
Code_Aster
Code_Aster is an open source software package for simulation in
structural mechanics, including fatigue, damage, fracture, contact,
geomaterials, porous media and multi-physics coupling.
It was originally developed by EDF as an in-house application for
safety-related simulations in nuclear energy environment. The
software has been evaluated through independent comparisons in
regards to analytical and experimental results, and was
benchmarked against commercial codes.
Additional Open Source solvers used on SimScale:
CalculiX
SU2
YADE

Security – How we protect your data
Encrypted data during upload and download.
When data is transferred to or from the SimScale platform, it is
protected with industry standard encryption technology.
Encrypted CAD and simulation data.
We exclusively use AES encrypted hard drives on our servers as
well as in external data centers to ensure highest data security.
Security is an integral part of the SimScale philosophy. Two full time
employees of our IT staff focus solely on data and
platform security.
Secured password.
Your password is not stored in plain text but only as salted hash.
That is, in a form that makes it impractical for anyone to find out
your password even with access to our database.
As stated in our terms and conditions, we will not sell, trade or give
away your CAD or simulation data.
Backup on multiple encrypted servers.
We protect your data by redundantly backing it up to multiple
encrypted backup servers.
