  • Thermal-Mechanical-Fluid Simulation of a Globe Valve with Cloud-Native CAE

    A multiphysics approach to design is of the essence to fully capture the real-world interactions between the physical phenomena at play inside today’s complex products. This means that to develop the best products, engineers need simulation tools capable of handling structural, thermal, and fluid flow behavior with high fidelity and in a timely manner. In…

  • My Life at SimScale: Sila Altuntas, Junior Designer

    Today, we would like to introduce you to Sila Altuntas, who is originally from Turkey and works in our Product Management team. She recently relocated to Munich and is now transitioning to a full-time team member after her studies. In this edition of “My life at SimScale”, Sila shares some insights into her day-to-day responsibilities…

  • SimScale’s Women in Tech

    At SimScale, we are a team of 115 employees, and 24 of them are women. We might not be the majority in the tech world and at SimScale, yet we accomplish great things every single day. Learn more about all these incredible and talented women working at SimScale as we celebrate International Women’s Day this…

  • Nonlinear Static Analysis: Snap-Fit Assembly

    Cloud-native engineering simulation enables engineers to test the structural performance and structural integrity of their designs earlier and with accuracy. Advanced solvers that account for thermal and structural behavior can be accessed to provide robust assessments of deformation, stresses, and other design critical output quantities. In this article, we analyze the structural performance and integrity of…

  • SimScale’s Recruiter, Natalie Thomas, on The Joys of Remote Working

    I recently joined SimScale as a Recruiter in January 2022. I am based in the UK and work remotely from Surrey, in the southeast of England where I live with my partner. I wanted to share my experience of flexible working as well as joining a new company completely remotely, a concept that has drastically…

  • Ventilation Strategies: Tested with Simulation

    In order to ensure sustainable living environments, it is essential to assess both the design of HVAC equipment and the effectiveness of ventilation strategies. For a good ventilation and heating strategy, designers must first understand airflow and indoor air quality, examine how external wind conditions might affect indoor thermal and ventilation conditions, and ensure their designs…

  • Cloud-Native Transient Analysis for Rotating Equipment

    Flow through rotating equipment is inherently unsteady. For example, pumps and compressors in HVAC and oil and gas applications experience pressure surges during start-up, shut-down, valve closures, and power fluctuations. Rotating machinery is regularly subjected to unsteady and destabilizing effects resulting from rotor-stator interactions, vortex shedding, and shock formations.  From a simulation perspective, steady-state methods…

  • The 8 Engineering Teams of SimScale

    In this article, we break down our 8 engineering teams that, together, work to make high-fidelity engineering simulation technically and economically accessible, at any scale, in the cloud. Workbench Team The Workbench team is responsible for the front-end piece of SimScale’s application. We work closely with all teams to connect all of SimScale’s functionalities to…

  • A Day in the Life of Victor Guiguer, Customer Success Manager at SimScale

    I start my day at 09:00 with a hot cup of coffee while reviewing my to-do list in our customer success dashboard. First things first, I have a business review with a client to prepare for later this afternoon. I work with certain metrics like simulations ran over the past 3 months, success rates, and…

  • My First Month as a Recruiter at SimScale

    After 2 years of parental leave, moving back home to Germany from the USA, and being in the middle of a pandemic, it was quite an interesting time for starting a new job. Luckily in August this year, Jon Wilde, with who I worked in the past, reached out to me and asked if I…

  • Multiphysics Simulation of an EV Inverter

    As engineers strive for the optimal design solution, a multiphysics approach is essential to fully capture the real-world interactions between different physical phenomena. Physical prototyping can amount to a huge investment in time and cost, meaning running analyses across multiple physics earlier in the design process is key. Engineers and designers have been constrained by…

  • Design Space Exploration and Performance Optimization in the Cloud

    Traditional CAD and CAE tools constrain design space exploration with closed ecosystems and environments, limited hardware, and licensing costs. Performing a design space and performance optimization with these desktop-centric tools comes with significant barriers to entry that prevents design studies from taking place across many applications. By leveraging the power of end-to-end shape optimization completely…
