A potental platform that can do great things.

What are the best aspects of this product?

I like how their interface functions. And I love how I no longer have to utilize my personal computing resources. Now, I can send my jobs straight to the cloud. I can then directly e-mail when the job happens to be done. Making use of a browser for setting up simulation is awesome and a big help!

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

Since I'm academic user, I'd love to having the freedom to give advanced models a try. I felt this is something where the product falls short. I'm also making use of other third party software such as Abaqus & FEAP. Right SimScale isn't really meant for using both materials and elements.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

My main area for resarch invovles fracture and contact. I'm currently collaborating with a startup dealing with composite materials. At this point in time, SimScale has zero support for these features. But through SimScale, I"m trying to craft simpler simulation sampels and tools which can made for educational purposes. One of its biggest advantages is being able to operate on any plaform and making use of Paraview for building animations that allow for fun and comprehensive learning.

Are you a current user of this product?

Yes
