SimScale’s open platform philosophy takes a step forward — engineering teams can now build simulation workflows beyond fixed analysis types, while solver developers and AI engineering firms gain a direct route to market without building a platform of their own. for engineering teams and technology partners.
MUNICH, 29th May, 2026 — SimScale, the AI-native cloud platform for engineering simulation, today announced the launch of Workflows, a new capability that opens the platform’s execution infrastructure to third-party solvers and AI models. Engineering organisations can now build simulation workflows that combine SimScale’s built-in capabilities with their own proprietary methods, custom solvers, or external AI models — all running natively on the same cloud-native infrastructure, governed and versioned alongside SimScale’s own.
This is a structural shift in what SimScale is. Until now, what an engineering team could do on the platform was defined by the analysis types SimScale had built. Workflows removes that ceiling — the scope of what’s possible is now defined by what methods exist in the ecosystem, not by any single vendor’s roadmap.
That matters in two distinct ways. For solver developers and AI engineering firms, Workflows provides a route to market without building a platform: integrate once and the solver is immediately available across SimScale, with cloud infrastructure, pre-processing, post-processing, and AI tooling already in place. For enterprise engineering organisations with proprietary tools and in-house solver branches, those methods can now run natively inside SimScale — part of the same infrastructure their teams already use, rather than a disconnected step outside it.
Unlike orchestration tools that connect simulation applications from the outside — creating integrations that are custom-built and brittle — Workflows opens SimScale’s own execution infrastructure from within. Third-party methods become native participants, not external tools being managed around the platform. This is only possible because SimScale was built cloud-native from the ground up.
The consequences for Engineering AI are equally significant. SimScale’s agents already configure, run, and interpret simulations autonomously. Because third-party methods run natively, those agents can now orchestrate complete processes across solver boundaries — importing data, selecting the right method, passing results downstream, and triggering next steps without human intervention. Every integrated solver also operates within SimScale’s full infrastructure stack — elastic HPC provisioning, real-time collaboration, simulation data management, and Physics AI pipelines — and is fully accessible to the agentic engineering layer without additional configuration.
“Engineering innovation in simulation has too often been defined by what a single vendor chose to build or acquire,” said Jon Wilde, VP Product at SimScale. “Workflows changes that equation. Whether you’re a solver developer wanting your technology in front of engineering teams at scale, or an organisation with proprietary methods developed in-house over years, you can now bring that into SimScale and have it work as if it were always part of the platform. Instantly exposing it to our community of over 800,000 users”
The capability is already in production. PAMICS®, the meshless Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics solver from AI Engineering GmbH — delivering simulation speeds 10–20x faster than traditional grid-based methods for complex fluid dynamics involving moving assemblies, free surfaces, and multiphase flows — is one of the first solvers to run natively through Workflows. Full details of the PAMICS integration are available here. SimScale will share further details on a formal partner programme for solver developers later in the year.
