Considered Both Products	SimScale MW Mark Williams VP Operations and Engineering Chose SimScale I used this software when it was known as CFDesign and in the first couple of years after it was acquired by Autodesk. I was familiar with the workflow of CFDesign and the user interface, the first couple times using SimScale was a bit of a challenge but I quickly became … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose SimScale We chose to go with SimScale based mostly on capital cost. Competitors have a large upfront cost and also require expensive hardware to properly run them. Even their subscription cost is competitive with the annual cost of others. Incentivized Helpful? Erika Boeing CEO Chose SimScale SimScale is much faster to spin up on than OpenFOAM. Ansys CFD tools are much more expensive! Both tools require expensive computing equipment to run, which SimScale does not! Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	SimScale GmbH For a small company, SimScale is a great fit. It allows me to gain the use and support of higher-end software analysis on demand without the traditional high cost. This is super convenient for a company that does occasional design and analysis. Since the computing is cloud-based it also allows me to process large and detailed models without the high hardware cost that can be required. One potential drawback is that the design information is stored on someone else's server. For some industries and companies this would be a deal-breaker.

Pros	SimScale GmbH Material non-linear analysis. Geometric non-linear analysis. Meshing. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	SimScale GmbH Learning from tutorials is great, but limiting. The online help is a must. Some simulations take a lot of time, but at least it's not on your PC. Sometimes the software times out due to the server. Incentivized John T. Winter Senior Mechanical Engineer Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	SimScale GmbH I had a great experience with SimScale but we only used the software for a short period of time to complete the current design requirements. It is not a software that we would continually subscribe to. Next subscription event would occur when there is a design requirement to do so.
