Hi everyone, my name is Andrea and I am a fresher user of Simscale. I have a free community account which allows me to have 3000 hours calculus. I was wondering what happens when I finish those hours.

Thanks a lot guys

Hi @abigoni and welcome to SimScale! ![](https://www.simscale.com/forum/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6d5f50ff146ee493145d1c7b0962a22513161928.png)

One option would be to **[upgrade your account](https://www.simscale.com/product/pricing/)**.

If you need a simulation result fast you can contact me anytime. I can run simulations for you in this case. That saves you some precious core hours 😉

For your interest: **[What is the definition of a core hour?](https://www.simscale.com/forum/t/what-is-the-definition-of-a-core-hour/237)**

Enjoy your stay here and feel free to ask if something is unclear!

Happy SimScaling!

Jousef

Hi @gmohedat,

as mentioned above you can either participate in the **Referral Program** , **Upgrade your account** or contact @anon18194957 for any questions concerning core hours/upgrades.

Cheers,

Jousef
