SimScale GmbH · simscale.com · who's behind it
SimScale is a cloud engineering simulation platform from SimScale GmbH in Munich. Its REST API imports geometry, builds meshes, sets up and runs fluid, structural and thermal simulations and exports results, with Python and C# SDKs, on the Enterprise plan.
Best for An enterprise engineering team that wants an agent to automate CFD, FEA or thermal studies on a platform it already licenses, with a sandbox for development.

Is this your product? Claim it to see how agents find it: lookups through the API, MCP and letme, the comparisons it's in, and what people search for in CAD. Free, and it never changes the grade. Or verify it, or log in if it's already claimed.
Assessment. Public OpenAPI documents for v0 and the v1 beta, a keyless sandbox that answers every endpoint with example data, and official Python and C# SDKs let an agent plan a simulation before anyone signs a contract. Running one needs an Enterprise API key priced on request, with no status page, no published rate limits and SDK releases eight months old.

From our research 8 facts checked against the vendor's pages
- Surface listed
- The REST API at api.simscale.com, read from the v0 and v1 OpenAPI documents, the Swagger UI shell, the Python SDK README, docs and releases (shallow clone), the docs hub page, pricing, terms and conditions, imprint, security page, data privacy statement, Intigriti programme page and security.txt on 3 November 2026. No key was used and the sandbox was not called
- Where it runs
- AWS EMEA in Ireland and Luxembourg hosts all production services; Google Cloud (Netherlands) and Azure (Sweden Central) for specific processing; LLM inference on platform content through AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex AI within EU regions, per the data privacy statement of November 2025
- API areas
- The v0 tags are Projects, Folders, Spaces and permissions, Geometries and Geometry Imports, Table Imports, Materials, Meshes and Mesh Operations, Simulations, Simulation Runs, Simulation Result Exports, Reports, Postprocessing, Wind, Storage, Users and AI Models. Methods come in plain and _with_http_info forms in the SDK
- Versions
- /v0 is the generic version; /v1 is in beta with a migration guide, changelog, getting-started walkthroughs and Workbench compatibility notes at api.simscale.com/apidoc/v1/ (pages render by script and were not read). Simulation Spec and Meshing Spec schemas carry their own versions
- SDKs
- simscale-python-sdk (Python 3.6 or later, release 19.1.0 of 3 March 2026, installed from the GitHub tag, reads SIMSCALE_API_KEY and SIMSCALE_API_URL) and simscale-csharp-sdk, plus simscale-python-sdk-v1 and simscale-csharp-sdk-v1 for the beta
- Plans
- Community free (2,000 core hours, 10 simulations, 16 cores, public projects); Mechanical (3,000 core hours), Professional (10,000) and Enterprise (custom, with dedicated API support, Engineering AI and Physics AI) on request. API access is an Enterprise feature
- Security
- SOC 2 Type II by Prescient Assurance (letter of attestation downloadable), AES encryption at rest and in transit, salted password hashes, Intigriti bug bounty (Tier 2, €250 to €6,000, automated tooling capped at 2 requests a second), security@simscale.com
- Legal entity
- SimScale GmbH, Ridlerstraße 31B, 80339 Munich, Commercial Register Munich HRB 201813, managing directors Vincenz Dölle and David Heiny, per the imprint. Founded in November 2012
Facts verified 3 November 2026 from vendor docs, repositories and package registries. JSON · Markdown
Strengths
- OpenAPI 3.0.3 for v0 (98 operations) and the v1 beta (163 operations), with separately versioned simulation and meshing schemas selectable by query parameter
- Sandbox under /sandbox with a fixed public key that returns example data for every endpoint and starts nothing
- Official Python and C# SDKs generated from the document, with v1 editions named
- SOC 2 Type II, a public Intigriti bug bounty with the API in scope, and a security.txt
- Customers keep ownership of designs, simulations and results, and production runs on AWS in EU regions per the privacy statement
Weaknesses
- API keys come only with the Enterprise plan, priced on request, and the SDK asks would-be integrators to email api@simscale.com
- No status page, no SLA on any plan, and no rate limit or Retry-After documented beyond a single 429 response in the spec
- One API key per user with no scopes, documented expiry or rotation
- The Python SDK's newest release is 19.1.0 of 3 March 2026 and the SDK repository has no CI
- API-created simulations may be locked out of the Workbench when schema versions diverge, and 10 of 98 v0 operations have no description
Before you call it notes for agents
- Develop against https://api.simscale.com/v0/sandbox with X-API-KEY: sandbox-example-api-key, which returns example data and runs nothing; real keys need an Enterprise plan the owner must arrange
- Follow the geometry import flow in order, requesting a storage location, uploading the file, creating the import, polling its event log, then listing the geometries valid for setup
- Pin simulationSpecSchemaVersion and meshingSpecSchemaVersion when fetching the OpenAPI document, since spec schemas change more often than the API and a mismatch locks the Workbench
- Treat v1 as beta and build on v0 unless the owner wants v1, and read the migration guide in a browser, since it rendered empty for our reader
- No rate limit is published, so space out polling of run status and back off on 429; the terms allow SimScale to impose traffic limits without notice

A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.
SimScale GmbH is named in the terms and conditions (version July 2023, German law, Munich venue), the imprint (HRB 201813) and the data privacy statement (version November 2025, whose section 14 still says July 2023).
Clause 3.5(g) of the terms forbids scraping or building databases from the Services, and clause 4.2 makes API access conditional on express permission in the agreement. Recorded as facts; www.simscale.com/robots.txt blocks six named bots and admin paths only, and api.simscale.com has no robots.txt.
security.txt at www.simscale.com/.well-known/security.txt names the Intigriti programme and security@simscale.com as contacts and the programme as policy, with no Expires line.
No status page was found, since status.simscale.com has no DNS record and no status link appears on the site, the docs hub or the API document.
The API lives on api.simscale.com, a SimScale domain. The API changelog and migration pages at api.simscale.com/apidoc/v1/ render by script and were not read.
Checked 2026-11-03 against the vendor's own pages and the domain registry. Provenance is half of Transparency & trust.

Researched 3 November 2026 from public pages. The about page names four co-founders (David Heiny, Vincenz Dölle, Johannes Probst, Alexander Fischer) and a leadership team, and its timeline says the company was founded in November 2012 in Munich with Anatol Dammer as a fifth co-founder, who is not on the team list and is left out. The imprint names Heiny and Dölle as managing directors. The about page links a LinkedIn profile for each person; those links were not read, so no personal accounts are listed. Funding rounds come from the company's own press releases of 30 January 2020 and 28 October 2021; the 2015 Series A led by Union Square Ventures is referred to in those releases and on an investor's site that was not read, so it is not listed as a round.

Notable
- OpenAPI 3.0.3 documents are public for /v0 (75 paths, 98 operations, 2,112 schemas, 355 enum lists) and for /v1 (134 paths, 163 operations), which the v0 document announces as a beta with a migration guide source
- Simulation Spec and Meshing Spec schemas are versioned separately from the API, and the OpenAPI document can be requested for a given pair with
?simulationSpecSchemaVersion=8.0&meshingSpecSchemaVersion=0.5source - A sandbox under /sandbox with the fixed key sandbox-example-api-key answers every endpoint with example data and starts no simulation source
- Simulations created through the API may not be editable in the Workbench when their schema version is behind the Workbench's, by design; the SDK wikis describe the workaround source
- The Python SDK's newest release is 19.1.0 of 3 March 2026 (OpenAPI Generator, version of the document 0.0.0), installed from the GitHub tag; separate v1 SDKs for Python and C# are named in the v1 document source
- The terms (July 2023) make API access conditional on express permission in the agreement, allow SimScale to impose rate or traffic limits and to modify the API, keep ownership of simulations with the customer, and forbid scraping source
- SOC 2 Type II audited by Prescient Assurance, a public Intigriti bug bounty from €250 to €6,000 with the SimScale API in scope at Tier 2, and a security.txt naming both source
- No status page was found; status.simscale.com has no DNS record and the v0 document mentions 429 once without a limit or Retry-After source
- The data privacy statement (November 2025) names AWS in Ireland and Luxembourg as the production host, Bedrock and Vertex AI in EU regions for LLM inference on platform content, and Anthropic among US subprocessors source

No llms.txt and no Markdown docs; the API docs are Swagger UI and script-rendered pages (0). The introduction explains the sandbox, versioning and Workbench compatibility, and operations carry one-line summaries, but 10 of the 98 v0 operations have no description and the guides for v1 rendered empty (12 of 20). 2,112 schemas with 355 enum lists, required fields and a typed security scheme (13 of 15). The sandbox answers every endpoint with example data, which stands in for examples, and responses are typed for 400, 403, 404, 409, 422 and 429 (11 of 15).

Graded 41 E methodology v0.7
Fix list 19 items, the biggest gain first
Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on SimScale. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.
You're lucky. As part of the beta, your first month is free.
What we couldn't check
- unchecked: the v1 changelog, migration guide and getting-started pages at api.simscale.com/apidoc/v1/, which render by script; v1's beta status and SDK names come from the v1 OpenAPI document's introduction
- unchecked: the SimScale platform's own release notes and whether any dated API change fell in the last 90 days; maintenance rests on the SDK release history
- unchecked: whether the Community plan asks for a card, and the Enterprise plan's price, SLA and support terms
- unchecked: the audit logging and SSO named on a cloud infrastructure page that a search surfaced but we did not read
- firstReleased is left empty, since the docs hub page was last updated 21 June 2023 and the Python SDK's first release on GitHub is 11.0.0 of 20 February 2025, neither a first-hand date for the API's launch
- Judgement call on category. Listed in cad on cad.simulate, as the audit led; SimScale makes no geometry, so the geometry task of the category suite will not apply to it
- The data privacy statement names Anthropic, PBC among US subprocessors and says Claude powers AI functions in the platform. These grades are written by agents on Anthropic's Claude models

Probe metrics
Not measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. The live panel above has what the pollers have seen so far, which doesn't change the score.
Pricing & changes
Paid Paid API access is part of the paid Enterprise plan, priced on request with custom users, core hours and instances. Mechanical and Professional plans are also on request (3,000 and 10,000 core hours). The Community plan is free with 2,000 core hours and 10 unrestricted simulations but no API. No price is published and the pages read do not say whether a card is needed; subscriptions can be paid by purchase order or invoice.

Tell us where it is
We read it once now and again every week. If the link is missing two weeks in a row the listing says so, and a later check puts it back.
Agents send the same to POST /api/v1/verify as {"slug": "simscale", "url": "…"}, or call the verify_listing tool at /mcp. Ten checks an hour from one address. What we check. To announce the listing, get sharing assets for social media.
Share this listing
For the vendorGet sharing assets for social media. Two images say SimScale is listed on Anchor Terminal, with your logo and this page's address, one for a dark feed and one for a light one. They carry no grade or score, so they stay right when a score moves.
Link the post to https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/simscale. The logo is the one on this listing. If it's wrong or out of date, send us the right one.
