The Mission
The “Solve it with SimScale” Project is an effort to create industry-relevant simulations using SimScale. The open model of collaboration among SimScale’s community of users is the basis of development, maximizing the number of engineering minds working to solve these challenging simulation problems on the SimScale Platform.
Who can take part?
The “Solve it with SimScale” Project welcomes all SimScalers wishing to contribute their engineering skills to solve complex simulation projects and share their results with the rest of the Community. No matter if you are a topic expert, hobbyist, or a student who would like to improve his or her knowledge of engineering simulation with project-based learning, the door is open.
Simulation Cases
Anyone participating in Solve it With SimScale will have the chance to simulate a case suggested by our engineering team but in a period of 30 days. If you deliver the simulation in 30 days you get prizes. There will be only one “winner” per case. That’s a great opportunity to keep motivated and learn more about simulations!
This month users choose their own validation projects and can submit projects they interested in and hand in their results between 1st and 30th of June
You can find a list of simulation cases on the “Solve it With SimScale” page to get some inspiration. Each case is based on scientific literature and contains all of the information you need to set up the simulation, including descriptions of the geometry (if you need to download or create it), boundary conditions, results, and important references.
What are the prizes?
SimScale certificate, an Amazon voucher and fame in our Community!
How to present your results
The results should be presented as a SimScale public project, that includes a full explanation of the results based on the literature provided and images of how the results were achieved (pre-processing, simulation designer and post-processing details).
The jury is looking for creative projects from the field of FEA, CFD or Thermal Analysis that not only use SimScale but also include post-processing software like ParaView or Octave for plotting.

Like what you see and want to get involved? Get started in 3 easy step:
-
Choose the case that you would like to work on.
-
Send an email to jmurad@simscale.com with your name, SimScale user ID and the case you have picked to simulate.
-
Start working on the project and we will follow up with you regularly in case you need any help along the way.
We have three projects each month as listed above. Please choose a project either from CFD, FEM or Thermal analysis and feel free to contact me in case you need help with the setup. A good approach is to have a look at similar projects in the public projects section and see how those were set up. And do not get desperate 
We still have the search function in our forum so no worries there!
