Overall Satisfaction with SimScale
We use SimScale to extend our FEA capability to include non-linear analysis. When we were evaluating different software what set SimScale apart was the lower capital cost of a subscription cloud-based software. It eliminated the upfront cost of purchasing a more conventional FEA software as well as the hardware to properly run it. We use SimScale for product failure analysis. The products are pushed to the limit and we need to know how the products will act when they are pushed past the elastic region.
Pros
- Material non-linear analysis.
- Geometric non-linear analysis.
- Meshing.
Cons
- Contact non-linear analysis.
- Cylindrical based boundary conditions.
- Automatically generated reporting.
- Non-linear FEA.
- Cloud based.
- Great support.
- It has allowed us to increase our service offering which has lead to additional work.
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.
