SimScale platform
The architecture of agentic engineering
SimScale unites cloud-native simulation, Engineering AI, and Physics AI into a single platform that orchestrates every stage of engineering design from exploration to validation. The only AI-native agentic engineering platform that can explore 1000’s of design decisions in seconds, across any simulation, workflow, or toolchain.
Modern engineering requires more than faster simulation. It requires systems that capture expertise, learn and automate engineering workflows. SimScale’s architecture powers agentic engineering by combining multiphysics simulation, AI models, and cloud infrastructure into a unified, open environment.
Technology overview
Four layers power SimScale’s agentic engineering platform — orchestration, simulation, integration, and cloud infrastructure.
Orchestration layer
Orchestrating engineering workflows. Coordinates users, templates, AI agents, and data into guided and automated simulation workflows. Ensures repeatability, governance, and collaboration across engineering teams.
Simulation & AI engine
Where physics and AI converge. Combines validated multiphysics solvers with Physics AI to deliver high-fidelity insights at unprecedented speed.
Open Integration
Through the API and Workflows, third-party solvers, custom AI models, and proprietary methods run natively on SimScale’s infrastructure — not as external integrations, but as native participants fully accessible to Engineering AI agents for autonomous orchestration across your engineering stack.
Cloud infrastructure
Elastic simulation infrastructure. Secure cloud computing and unified data management provide the scale required for large simulations and AI training workloads.
