SimScale GmbH has unveiled a series of platform enhancements aimed at advancing real-time, simulation-driven design for the automotive industry. As a fully cloud-native simulation platform, SimScale collaborates with leading manufacturers, suppliers, and OEMs to accelerate product development, reduce R&D costs, and foster engineering innovation in a competitive global market. Automotive companies utilize SimScale for a wide range of simulations, including mechanical, thermal, CFD, and electromagnetics.
The latest updates include:
- AI: Enhanced AI simulation capabilities that integrate with physics solvers, enabling the use of simulation data for AI training and inference. This accelerates design convergence in the cloud.
- Electromagnetics: Improved solvers for electrostatic analysis, core losses in time-harmonic magnetics, and nonlinear materials in time-harmonic magnetic simulations.
- Electronics: Upgrades to the Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) solver, including support for temperature-dependent solid material properties, improved physics-based meshing, and 3D spatial definition for surface heat flux in CHT simulations.
- Structural Analysis: New features for applications such as pin connectors, global damping in harmonic analysis, 3D pressure boundary condition modeling, and increased disk storage for harmonic and dynamic analyses.
- Enterprise Collaboration: Enhanced user and team management tools to streamline the deployment of SimScale for large, globally distributed engineering teams.

Jon Wilde, VP of Product Management at SimScale, commented, “These enhancements will help our customers embrace next-generation engineering techniques, made possible through cloud-native platforms where simulation data is instantly accessible for AI, generative design, and optimization workflows.”
SimScale also announced that they have surpassed 600,000 registered users, marking a global shift toward simulation-driven design as barriers like hardware limitations and expertise shortages are being overcome.
The new features will debut at the IAA Transportation Trade Fair in Hannover, Germany, from September 17-22. Sims Cale will be at Stand SA24, Hall 12, with CEO David Heini presenting on Automotive Design with AI-Powered Cloud Simulation.
