Just half a year after the launch of the SimScale Community, we are happy to announce that there are now more than 15,000 public simulation projects in the Public Project Library! So what kinds of exciting projects are SimScale Community users working on? Let’s take a look:
Validation and Verification
In his NACA Submerged Duct project, one of our SimScale Power Users, Pablo Fernandez, has replicated the Ames wind tunnel section used back in the 1940’s to experimentally investigate NACA submerged duct entrances. The intention is to compare the simulation results against declassified experiments carried out at the time.

Teaching the Finite Element Method
Mario Larreta, professor of mechanical engineering at the Instituto Tecnológico de Tijuana in Mexico is using SimScale in his introductory design, simulation, and manufacturing course.

SimScale Workshops
We’ve hosted a Drone Workshop, 3D Printer Workshop, and F1 Workshop in the past few months featuring with many great projects from our users.

And the public project with the most views…
The aerodynamics analysis of a Formula One race car by SimScale engineer Ali Arafat is the favorite in the SimScale Community with 4614 views and counting.
Passing the 15,000 public simulation projects milestone is proof that we’re moving in the right direction, and we would like to wholeheartedly thank YOU for making SimScale a great community for engineering simulation!
Update: In the meantime, the number of simulations in the SimScale Public Projects Library has significantly increased, with thousands of new ones added every month. Find a CAE project for almost any industrial application, copy it and use it as a template for your own projects by changing the CAD model and specifications.
