From CAD to Simulation Results in 3 Steps

1

Import your design

SimScale imports SOLIDWORKS, Fusion 360, CREO, Onshape, and other common files. Meshing is automatic.

Heat Transfer Simulations From Your Browser

SimScale provides online heat transfer software that you can use to boost the performance of heat transfer designs. Assess multiple design versions in parallel and quickly identify the most efficient one with CFD or FEA, and test heat transfer in fluids or solids, by using radiation, conduction, or convection simulation. Cloud-based heat transfer analysis helps professionals collaborate with their partners, validate their designs, and optimize their products, all from a web browser.

Simplify Your Thermal Simulation with Immersed Boundary Method

SimScale now comes with easy meshing for even intricate CAD models enabling engineers to focus on analysis and design rather than cleaning CAD geometry. The Immersed Boundary Method (IBM) is based on a cartesian grid in which the geometry is immersed, making the mesh resilient to geometrical details and not requiring CAD simplification. The salient features of this approach include very flexible mesh sizing for all levels of CAD complexity, automatic defeaturing of small geometrical details, perfect hexahedral meshes, and mesh refinements that are physics-based instead of geometry-based.

Fan Modeling

Rather than modeling the fan in detail, there are several easier methods to replicate the performance of fans which are much faster and a fan curve can still be applied:

  • Fan Momentum Source: Allows modeling of internal fans as a momentum source that is embedded within the model
  • Fan Curves: Allows modeling of fans based on fan curves (flow rate vs pressure drop). Fan curve tables can be created via table input or uploaded from a CSV file
  • Fan Boundary Condition: Users can specify a Fan Inlet or Fan Outlet as a boundary condition to model fans that are placed at the edge of the enclosure

The Power of the Cloud

Accurate cloud-native heat transfer simulation allows you to evaluate alternative design iterations simultaneously and fast, without the need of downloading and installing any software from your desktop. With SimScale, engineers can easily access, evaluate, and get results from a heat transfer analysis online, with 3D visualization available every step of the way.

    “The total material cost saving was 44%. We eliminated testing and prototype costs on this project entirely. It usually takes 1-3 weeks of prototyping time and another 1-3 weeks for all the testing normally done. Overall this project was successful and it helped achieve our goal of reducing cost and keeping within the project timeline.”

    Josh Levine

    Lead Engineer in Value Engineering Department at Kichler Lighting

  • “Due to the cloud-native nature of the solvers, the simulation speed is essentially a non-issue because I can add on more cores for faster simulation as needed. I can run 1, 2, or 20 simulations in parallel without worrying about hardware needs. I don’t need to budget for 1, 2, or 20 workstations to simulate my things on.”

    Andrzej Tunkiel

    Mechanical Team Lead at Easee

  • “For the larger scale plant, all the design simulations were carried out in SimScale. This included the heat transfer effectiveness of the steel core, air transfer optimization through ducts, calculating heat losses, and even structural lifting loads for safety purposes.”
