In this blog post, we engage in conversations with our colleagues Fillia and Sila, exploring the paths they traversed, and uncovering the story of how their bond developed into a close friendship within the workplace. Fillia (left) and Sila (right)What initially attracted you to work at SimScale? Fillia: SimScale is a platform I have been using since my Mechanical Engineering studies. The capabilities have always been in my area of interest, especially as I was previously using OpenFOAM for simulation work. Sila: The product we have. Starting with Industrial Design in Turkey, I later shifted t ..read more

For the third consecutive year, SimScale has measured its Corporate Carbon Footprint, an indicator that helps us understand how many tons of carbon we are emitting into the environment as a result of our business. Measuring the impact of our actions on a recurring basis helps us to identify those areas that require specific actions or customized programs. Without this information, we would not be able to understand the consequences of the initiatives we are taking to reduce our emissions. With enough experience and data to compare, we have clearly identified one of the main components of our f ..read more

We were at one of our monthly meetings with the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) task force when one person asked, “Are we separating office waste correctly?” The question was interesting because not only is it something we in Germany have so internalized that we sometimes do it without thinking or questioning whether what we do is absolutely effective, but also because it raised other questions such as: Are we being sustainable in our office? Do our colleagues know how different materials should be recycled in our city? Are we aware of the (avoidable) waste we generate? We knew we ..read more

This article was co-authored by Fabien Leray (Business Development Manager at EDF) and Guilhem Ferte (R&D Lead at EDF). Structural analysis and simulation is a vital tool for engineers, enabling them to predict how structures will perform under different conditions and optimize designs before construction. This process ensures safety, reliability, and efficiency while saving time and resources. In a collaborative effort, EDF and SimScale have joined forces to democratize access to advanced structural mechanics by enabling online application of finite element analysis (FEA) through integrat ..read more

In a world where the strength and resilience of women have shaped history and transformed societies, International Women’s Day stands as a powerful reminder to honor, celebrate, and uplift the incredible achievements of women across the globe. Here at SimScale, we would like to share the journeys of a few of our incredible and talented women as we celebrate International Women’s Day this week! Antonella What is your role? What do you do?  I am the Design Director overseeing user experience design, user research, and brand at SimScale. I ensure that experiences are delivered on time and t ..read more

The automotive industry is a hotbed of innovation and an exceptional testing ground for many emerging technologies. With several trends leading the market and influencing consumer perception and decision-making, automakers are investing hundreds of billions of dollars in new and exciting technologies that promise a transformative future for how vehicles are designed, manufactured, and used. The impact has even trickled upstream and compelled companies at different levels of the supply chain to get in the race, too. Automotive suppliers today are consciously and actively seeking innovative tech ..read more

“As automakers transform, so must suppliers” [1]. With the automotive industry shifting towards electrification, clean mobility, and digitalization, strict governmental regulations and competitive pressure have compelled automotive suppliers to find new and creative ways to accelerate and refine their engineering performance in order to catch up with the planned visions for the market and still win and maintain deals with OEM customers. With the EU’s commitment to scale up hydrogen mobility by 2030 [2] and companies across the pond launching their mass production of their 10-years-in-the-makin ..read more

As electric vehicles (EVs) are quickly becoming the driving trend of the automotive industry today, one of the most debated topics is their battery efficiency and longevity. The EV battery market has been experiencing unprecedented growth, fuelled by the global push towards cleaner, more sustainable transportation [3]. As governments set ambitious targets for reducing carbon emissions and consumers become more environmentally conscious, the demand for EVs will continue to rise. This surge is driving advancements in battery technology, with a focus on increasing energy density, reducing chargin ..read more

It feels like 2023 has been the rise of machine learning and artificial intelligence for many business sectors and industries. AI and machine learning is nothing new. However, the availability and ease of access to the technology from companies such as OpenAI, Google, Amazon, NVIDIA, etc. have opened up the technology to the general public and has fostered rapid growth. The generative AI as a service business is predicted to reach approximately $190 billion by 2032. In this article, we will consider how AI can specifically be used in engineering simulation. The Impact of AI on Engineering As A ..read more

Traditional engineering simulation tools that we’re all familiar with have always faced hurdles and limitations like cumbersome procurement, slow deployment, and isolated workflows. However, with the advent of cloud computing, cloud-native simulation is reshaping this landscape. This new paradigm eliminates these challenges and introduces affordability, immediate accessibility, and transparent, productive collaboration. Key Takeaways Cloud-native simulation is leading the “new world” of engineering simulation by eliminating inefficiencies. Purchasing and deploying your simulation tool has nev ..read more
