Our take
Simulation and computer-aided engineering (CAE) software exists to help engineers in analysis tasks, by imitating real-life scenarios from mathematical formulae to enable optimisations and adjustments to be found prior to manufacture. However, though utility is high, CAE solutions can be difficult to implement, hard to scale, and require large investment in hardware and maintenance. SimScale provides a cloud-based simulation tool for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), to enable engineers to easily implement simulation CAE across R&D cycles.
SimScale, founded in 2012, began life as a consultancy, before bringing cloud computing to simulation. Its platform enables organisations of any size to make use of engineering simulations, by removing the large hardware costs that would normally make them economically inaccessible; and providing accurate end-to-end simulations that can be generated without experience in the technology. The company initially provided CFD services, used to solve structural problems, before expanding to include FEA, for fluid-flow problems, by a partnership with the firm Simerics.
SimScale has hundreds of thousands of users and is progressing towards its goal of making engineering simulation a standard tool in the industry. Funds raised by the company will help it expand into new industries by adding more simulation capabilities.
