Unlike traditional engineering simulation software, SimScale doesn’t require any software installation or expensive hardware. Instead, SimScale is a cloud-based engineering simulation platform that gives every engineer and designer access to sophisticated yet easy-to-use multiphysics simulation methods for virtual prototyping, to develop better products faster and more cost-efficiently.

All you need is your web browser to sign up and start simulating in minutes. There is no need to install any software. Create a free Community account or start a 14-day free trial of the Professional plan. The Professional trial gives you 200 core hours for private projects. Private projects are encrypted and only visible to you and the people you explicitly choose to share them with.

Yes, 100% free. No credit card information is required. At the end of the 14-day Professional trial period, your account will be automatically converted into a free Community account if you don’t decide on a paid subscription. All private projects created during the Professional trial will remain private.

When data is transferred to or from the SimScale platform, it is protected with industry standard encryption technology. We exclusively use AES encrypted hard drives on our servers as well as in external data centers to ensure the highest data security. Your password is not stored in plain text but only as salted hash. That is, in a form that makes it impractical for anyone to find out your password even with access to our database. As stated in our terms and conditions, we will not sell, trade or give away your CAD or simulation data. We protect your data by redundantly backing it up to multiple encrypted backup servers.

When working with SimScale, each time you want to simulate a new design, you create a new “project” within your SimScale dashboard. This project can be either “private” or “public”. Public projects are searchable and visible to everyone online via the Public Projects Library. Any SimScale user can copy a simulation setup of a public project. In contrast, private projects are only visible and accessible to you and to the people that you have explicitly chosen and agreed to share them with (for example, colleagues or clients). They can not be seen, copied or edited by other users.

A core hour refers to the number of processor units (cores) used to run a simulation multiplied by the duration of the simulation in hours. With 1 core hour, you can simulate for 1 hour on a 1 core machine, 30 minutes on a 2 core machine, and so on. With SimScale, you have access to up to 96 computing cores per simulation and an unlimited number of simulations that can be run simultaneously.

All subscriptions are for a period of 12 months and are subject to automatic renewal. The Community Plan is completely free and gives you 3000 core hours/year for public projects. You can upgrade your account anytime, however, you can not downgrade during the 12 months contract period.

Yes, you can buy more core hours as you need them. Moreover, the Professional and Enterprise plans come with a custom number of core hours adapted to your specific needs.

All subscriptions can be terminated to the end of the current subscription period. Notice of termination must be submitted at least two weeks before the end of the contract period.
