The world’s first cloud-based, AI-native simulation platform
We believe every engineer should be free to explore thousands of design options, test them instantly, and decide with confidence. When the products you build are irreplaceable, so are you.
SimScale empowers engineering teams everywhere to innovative faster by exploring thousands of engineering decisions in seconds
Our platform philosophy
Engineering AI
Your co-pilot through every stage of simulation. Automates setup, applies best-practice workflows, and guides engineers new to a physics type, so your experts focus on the hard problems.
Physics AI
Instant predictions from models trained on high-fidelity simulation data. Where traditional solvers take hours, Physics AI returns a validated answer in seconds. More ideas tested, same sprint.
Agentic workflows
Run multi-step simulations autonomous with meshing, solving, and post-processing as a continuous pipeline. Define the logic once. The platform executes it at any scale.
All physics, one platform
CFD, FEA, thermal, and electromagnetics in a single environment with a shared project space. No tool-switching, no lost context between physics disciplines.
Every engineer, not just specialists
Simulation should not be gatekept by complexity, hardware, and cost. Every engineer on the team should be enabled to contribute, not just the CAE team
Real-time collaboration
Multiple engineers inside the same simulation project simultaneously, sharing results as they update. Organisational knowledge stays in the platform.
Our team
Just some of our people helping build SimScale’s agentic engineering platform and driving the mission to put Engineering AI and Physics AI in the hands of every engineer.
