  • Brainbox Matrix Services – Validating a WIG Craft Design

    The Challenge Brainbox Matrix Services turned to SimScale when they had a project that required them to study the behavior of a wing in ground effect for a marine craft (WIG). They decided to use computer-aided engineering (CAE) in the process based on their knowledge of its cost advantage, shorter research period, and more accurate…

  • Bold Valuable Technology – Cloud Simulation for Battery Cooling

    The Challenge In this noteworthy project, Bold set out to develop a battery concept for a high-end motorsport electric series. The scope of work consisted of the development of the battery, and based on a pre-selected cell, this product needed to perform mechanical packaging and integrate a cooling system within the design. The nature of…

  • Fessmann – Validating HVAC Design with CFD

    THE DESIGN CHALLENGE Fessmann decided to incorporate CAE into their design process as they embarked on an exciting unique project; developing a new food plant series. The engineers at Fessmann had previously relied on purely empirical approaches, and tried and tested methods of development, production, and construction of their plants. For this new project, they…

  • Paris HVAC – Designing a Safe Fume Hood Ventilation System

    THE DESIGN CHALLENGE Currently a one-man-operation, Paris HVAC owner and founder Benoît Mallet began using SimScale in 2018 when he found himself with an interesting case at hand. Benoît, an expert in all things HVAC, had the challenge of ensuring safety standards could be maintained in a particular kind of laboratory room housing an exhaust…

  • The Hydrofoil Company – Simulating 76 Design Iterations with CFD

    Hydrofoil Design Challenges Yet in the wake of this modern hydro-era, the demands on design and performance for all of these activities have proved to be incredibly challenging. Within the surf hydrofoil market alone, designs must be extremely efficient at lower speeds, but also must be able to handle quick acceleration and be easily controlled…

  • Gruner Roschi – Comparing Classroom Ventilation Designs

    Gruner Roschi’s Case Gruner Roschi’s project involved creating a suitable classroom ventilation design for a newly constructed building. Working closely with the chief architect on the project, it was determined that the design needed to be cost-efficient, eco-friendly, and ultimately low-tech. This meant as little technical installation needed to be used as possible in the…

  • Ingenieurbüro Gratzl – Evaluating Thermal Comfort in Buildings

    The Challenge Markus Gratzl’s project consisted of evaluating the thermal comfort of an immense entrance hall of a former university building. Markus’ simulation dealt with the four-storey entrance hall of the building, including the entrance to the railway station’s platforms. The goal of the analysis was to clarify whether or not the entrance hall could…

  • iGas Technologies – Heat Transfer Results in Minutes

    Initial Challenges The team wanted to find a simulation software that didn’t restrict them. Yet, they did not have enough computing power in-house to have a localized simulation platform. With SimScale, lack of computing power wasn’t an issue, as processing takes place in the cloud. SimScale is easily accessible from any web browser, giving iGas…

  • Axolot Solutions – Reducing Overhead Costs with Cloud CFD

    The Challenge Axolot works with water flow processes, therefore turbulence and flow speed are key factors they need to understand in order to execute an efficient water treatment system. When Axolot Solutions came to SimScale, they were in an extensive period of product development, and wanted to design system components and test processes digitally rather…

  • Schwartze id.vt and AVEREM – Speeding Up Flow Installation Design

    The Challenge They wanted to focus on supporting a range of smaller projects, to ultimately improve engineering without requiring a large budget for it. Yet, the high license cost of traditional, on-premises CFD software made profitability seemingly difficult. This was until they discovered the SimScale platform. Because SimScale is cloud-based, traditional cost barriers such as…

  • SOTAX – Cutting Dissolution Testing Design Time

    The Challenge During the dissolution process, SOTAX’s testing system “At Xtend” must keep the ambient temperature of the vessels within the system constant. For this, they use a temperature-controlled circulating water bath. The inlet and outlet of the circulating water were constructed in a way that the fluid could flow as evenly as possible through…

  • OnLogic – Meeting Thermal Targets for Rugged Computers

    Challenge Meet thermal requirements that were set out. Ability to make quick design interactions. Results 3-5 designs simulated in parallel. 95% accuracy of testing performance. Results in 12 hours. Beating The Clock The thermal requirements that OnLogic set out to meet for their Karbon 700 high-performance, rugged edge computer system were beyond any that they…
