Cloud-Native Indoor Environment Simulation

From CAD to Simulation Results in 3 Steps

Import your building CAD model

SimScale imports Revit, Rhino, Sketchup, and other common files. Meshing is automatic.

Set up your indoor environmental analysis in your web browser

Choose your analysis type, set up your environmental conditions, and start simulating!

Analyze and visualize your results in minutes

Visualize temperature, airflow, CO2, and thermal comfort in seconds.

SimScale’s unique meshing algorithms allow you to import intricate CAD models with little or no CAD cleanup needed to make them simulation-ready.

Indoor Thermal Comfort for Design and Compliance

Visualize flow and heat transfer, test different air supply outlets and inlets, evaluate temperature gradients, air distribution or velocity plots to ensure an appropriate thermal comfort level for occupants in working and living spaces through proper environmental design.

HVAC and Ventilation Strategies that Work

Use cloud-native CFD to investigate flow through air handling units (AHU) and ventilation systems, test ventilation flow and pressure drop across filters, dampers, ducts, and fans. Simulate an entire fan curve as designed in your HVAC system and evaluate window and natural ventilation opening strategies.

Air Quality, Contamination, and Smoke Propagation

Develop intelligent ventilation strategies that comply with fresh air requirements, CO2 limits, and pollutant restrictions. Ensure fast and efficient removal of high concentrations of CO2 and other contaminants in classrooms, cleanrooms, and laboratories. Predict and optimize smoke propagation in underground garages, subway stations, and shopping centers.

Zero hardware or software footprint

With SimScale, investing in expensive high-performance computing hardware and caring for software installation and maintenance are a thing of the past.

Low upfront investment

Save on thousands of dollars by cutting the cost of expensive hardware and software maintenance fees.

No installation or maintenance

Connect to the Internet and run demanding simulations on any laptop or PC. We take care of software updates for you in the background.

Easy setup

With our simple workflow and ready-to-use simulation templates and tutorials, you never have to start from scratch.

“The customer support from SimScale is great and helped to reduce the learning curve when we first started with SimScale. We used to outsource CFD modeling to a third-party consultant. The annual license for SimScale costs less than getting a subcontractor to issue just one report so the return on investment (ROI) for us is just a few months and it has given us the freedom to explore more design options.”

Gerard Lally

Technical Sales Manager at Coolrite
“Working with SimScale gave us the possibility to inspect which of the architectural and technical solutions works the best way and give us certainty about our decisions. One other big factor is the speed in which SimScale can deliver results, through its great parallelization capacity. Without SimScale, we wouldn’t be able to deliver high-quality results in the required time period.”

David Akeret

VDC Specialist at Gruner Roschi AG
“The main benefit of using SimScale is the ability to link advanced computational fluid dynamics in the cloud to energy savings from our thermal modeling and analysis. Optimizing for comfort in sensitive spaces like large theaters with significant structural and acoustic constraints is a difficult task, and having access to the right tools at the right time is critical to ensure building performance.”
