Integrated Open Source Solver Technology

How does SimScale Integrate Open Source Solvers within the Platform?

SimScale is based on cutting-edge open source solver technology currently being used by leading companies, in a large number of industries with different requirements, such as automotive, aerospace, process technology, and power generation. We can rapidly implement new technology and ensure the greatest compatibility between SimScale and third-party software tools, with a high level of accuracy.

OPENFOAM®

OPENFOAM® is a toolbox for solving complex Computational Fluid Dynamics problems. It contains a wide range of physical models (including turbulence, wall treatment, thermodynamics, and mass transport), numerical methods and tools for pre- and post-processing. Disclaimer: This offering is not approved or endorsed by OpenCFD Limited, producer and distributor of the OpenFOAM software and owner of the OPENFOAM® and OpenCFD® trademarks.

Developed at the Imperial College in London, OPENFOAM® offers impressive accuracy and is extensively validated in academic and industrial environments. It is continuously being developed and expanded by a large community of scientists, experts, and industrial customers, ensuring rapid implementation of new technologies. As a result, OPENFOAM® has recently replaced several commercial codes.

OPENFOAM® is used for various applications by many industry leaders including:

  • Volkswagen Group
  • BMW AG
  • Ford Motor Company
  • Airbus S.A.S.
  • Siemens AG
  • General Electric Corporation

Over 2000 validations of Code_Aster

Code_Aster is an open-source software package for simulation in structural mechanics, including fatigue, damage, fracture, contact, geomaterials, porous media and multi-physics coupling. It was originally developed by EDF as an in-house application for safety-related simulations in nuclear energy environment. The software has been evaluated through independent comparisons in regards to analytical and experimental results and was benchmarked against commercial codes. Code_Aster is used for various applications by industry-leading companies including:

  • Airbus S.A.S.
  • Rolex SA
  • Valeo SA
