No status page, since status.simscale.com has no DNS record and none is linked from the site, the docs hub or the API document (0). No readable incident history (5). No rate limit with a number; the terms reserve the right to impose rate or traffic limits and the v0 document mentions a 429 response once (0). No Retry-After, backoff guidance or idempotency keys; runs can be cancelled (0). No SLA, and the terms say SimScale cannot warrant uninterrupted availability with Free plans carrying no availability obligation (0). /v0 is the generally available version; /v1 is in beta (10). 0 + 5 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 10 = 15.\n- Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes.\n- Schema \u0026 documentation 71 (checked 2026-11-03): Public OpenAPI 3.0.3 documents for /v0 (98 operations) and /v1 (163 operations), with the simulation and meshing schema versions selectable by query parameter (25). 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). Path versions v0 and v1 with a migration guide and changelog for v1, and dated SDK releases, though the changelog page itself rendered empty (10 of 15). 25 + 0 + 12 + 13 + 11 + 10 = 71.\n- Agent ergonomics 55 (checked 2026-11-03): List endpoints page with limit and page parameters and results are fetched per run and per export rather than whole (15 of 25). Pagination on lists and filters on some, such as valid geometries only (15 of 20). Typed error responses by status code; message shapes were not read in detail and the v1 error format page rendered empty (10 of 20). No idempotency keys; runs are asynchronous with event logs and cancel, so a retry can start a second run (5 of 20). Official Python and C# SDKs cover the surface, but a simulation setup needs a full Simulation Spec object with many required fields and a matching schema version (10 of 15). 15 + 15 + 10 + 5 + 10 = 55.\n- Security \u0026 auth 44 (checked 2026-11-03): One API key per user in the X-API-KEY header, with no scopes, documented expiry, rotation or revocation; the SDK reads it from an environment variable (10 of 30). Project and space permission endpoints exist and the sandbox cannot change data, but no read-only key or confirmation step for deletes was found (8 of 20). The API returns the owner's own geometry and results and no third-party content, so there is little untrusted content to inject (10 of 15). No audit log or per-call visibility found on the pages read (0 of 15). SOC 2 Type II by Prescient Assurance, a public Intigriti bug bounty with the API in scope, security.txt and AES encryption (16 of 20). 10 + 8 + 10 + 0 + 16 = 44.\n- Payments \u0026 pricing 10 (checked 2026-11-03): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). No price is published; Mechanical, Professional and Enterprise are on request and the Community plan carries no API (0). The sandbox with its fixed public key lets an agent exercise every endpoint without an account or card, though it runs nothing, and the free Community plan has no API; read as a partial free route (10 of 20). An API key comes with an Enterprise contract arranged by people (0). 0 + 0 + 10 + 0 = 10.\n- Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored.\n- Maintenance \u0026 community 33 (checked 2026-11-03): Read for a closed service with open SDK sources. The Python SDK's newest release is 19.1.0 of 3 March 2026, 245 days before the check, and the v1 document carries no date (5 of 30, for a change in the window being likely from the v1 beta but unproven). Ten SDK releases from February 2025 to March 2026 and none since (0 of 20). api@simscale.com, support@simscale.com and a community forum; response times were not tested and the SDK repository has no issue activity we could read (10 of 15). Official Python and C# SDKs, with v1 editions, generated from the document (15). The SDK repository has no CI workflow and pins the document version at 0.0.0 (3 of 10). 5 + 0 + 10 + 15 + 3 = 33.\n- Transparency \u0026 trust 65 (checked 2026-11-03): Closed service with clear terms (version July 2023) naming SimScale GmbH under German law (15). The data privacy statement (November 2025) gives retention periods for site data, names subprocessors with locations and the LLM providers used on platform content, and the terms give SimScale a licence over paid-plan content for improving the services; the statement's section 14 still says July 2023, and neither document says whether platform content trains models (20 of 30). v1 is announced as beta with a migration guide and v0 stays, but no deprecation policy or dated notices were found (8 of 20). Subprocessors and data locations are disclosed in detail, with production in AWS EU regions (18 of 20). 15 + 20 + 8 + 18 = 61.\n\nFix list, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (19 items). What it covers is at https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/simscale.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/simscale.json). The whole list for a coding agent comes from `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/fix-list` with `{\"listing\": \"simscale\", \"plan\": \"read\"}`, free while the beta runs\n\n### What we couldn't check\n\n- 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\n- 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\n- unchecked: whether the Community plan asks for a card, and the Enterprise plan's price, SLA and support terms\n- unchecked: the audit logging and SSO named on a cloud infrastructure page that a search surfaced but we did not read\n- 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\n- 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\n- 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\n\n### Sources\n\n- OpenAPI document v0: \u003chttps://api.simscale.com/v0/openapi.json\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- OpenAPI document v1 (beta): \u003chttps://api.simscale.com/v1/openapi.json\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- Swagger UI shell: \u003chttps://api.simscale.com/apidoc/swagger/index.html\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- v1 changelog page (rendered empty): \u003chttps://api.simscale.com/apidoc/v1/changelog.html\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- v1 migration page (rendered empty): \u003chttps://api.simscale.com/apidoc/v1/migration.html\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- docs hub, API and SDK documentation: \u003chttps://www.simscale.com/docs/platform/api-and-sdk-documentation/\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- Python SDK README: \u003chttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/SimScaleGmbH/simscale-python-sdk/master/README.md\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- Python SDK repository, shallow clone: \u003chttps://github.com/SimScaleGmbH/simscale-python-sdk\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- Python SDK releases: \u003chttps://api.github.com/repos/SimScaleGmbH/simscale-python-sdk/releases?per_page=10\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- Python SDK docs site: \u003chttps://simscalegmbh.github.io/simscale-python-sdk/\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- pricing: \u003chttps://www.simscale.com/product/pricing/\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- terms and conditions, July 2023: \u003chttps://www.simscale.com/terms-and-conditions/\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- imprint: \u003chttps://www.simscale.com/imprint/\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- data privacy statement, November 2025: \u003chttps://www.simscale.com/legal/data-privacy\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- security page: \u003chttps://www.simscale.com/product/security/\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- security.txt: \u003chttps://www.simscale.com/.well-known/security.txt\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- Intigriti bug bounty programme: \u003chttps://app.intigriti.com/programs/simscale/simscale/detail\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- about page (founders): \u003chttps://www.simscale.com/about/\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- status.simscale.com (no DNS record): \u003chttps://status.simscale.com/robots.txt\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- robots.txt www.simscale.com: \u003chttps://www.simscale.com/robots.txt\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n- robots.txt api.simscale.com (404): \u003chttps://api.simscale.com/robots.txt\u003e (seen 2026-11-03)\n\n## Score history\n\nEvery move of a score since the listing was graded, newest first, with its cause.

Not legal advice.\n\n**Terms of service** (https://www.simscale.com/terms-and-conditions/), read 2026-11-03, gives no date, states 5 of the 7 things a reader expects.\n\n- To know. Restricts automated access (costs points). \"(g) scrape, build databases or otherwise create permanent copies of the content of any Services or keep cached copies longer than permitted by the cache header;\"\n- To know. Says the terms or the service can change without notice (costs points). \"SimScale may implement new versions and upgrades of the Services including, but not limited to, changes that effect modifications to the design, operational method, technical specifications, systems, and other functions, etc. of the Services, at any time without prior notice.\"\n- Not found in the text.

Capped at the fees paid in the 12 months before the claim.\n- Says how changes to the terms are announced. Says it gives notice of a change.\n- Not found in the text. Refers to a service level or uptime commitment.\n- Also in the text (2026-11-03). The agreement runs for an initial twelve months and renews for twelve months each time unless terminated, with four weeks' notice before the end of a term. \"The term of any Agreement shall initially be twelve (12) months, starting on the date agreed between SimScale and Customer therein. It shall always renew by another twelve (12) months unless terminated earlier in accordance with these Terms\"\n- Also in the text (2026-11-03). Paid plan content is licensed to SimScale irrevocably and without limit in time for performing the agreement and for improving and optimising the services. \"Customer grants (and shall procure that Permitted Users grant) to SimScale the non-exclusive, unlimited (in terms of time and territory), sublicensable, transferable, royalty-free and irrevocable right to use the Professional Content for the purpose of performing SimScale’s obligations\"\n- Also in the text (2026-11-03). After the subscription ends the customer has sixty days to back up paid plan content, after which SimScale may delete it or restrict access. \"Upon expiry of such period, SimScale may delete the Professional Content or restrict Customer’s access thereto.\"\n\n**Privacy policy** (https://www.simscale.com/legal/data-privacy), read 2026-11-03, gives no date, states 6 of the 8 things a reader expects.\n\n- Not found in the text.

Anthropic is listed as a sub-processor whose model Claude powers AI functions within the platform. \"SaaS – AI assistant / large language model (Claude) used for internal productivity and operations, and to power AI features within the SimScale platform.\"\n\n## Humans behind the project (researched 2026-11-03 from public pages, not part of the grade)\n\n### Key people\n\n- David Heiny, CEO and Co-founder\n- Vincenz Dölle, COO and Co-founder\n- Johannes Probst, Co-founder\n- Alexander Fischer, Co-founder and Product Manager\n- Mariano Barrios, VP Engineering\n- Note: 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.\n- SimScale GmbH: LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/simscale/ GitHub https://github.com/SimScaleGmbH\n\n### Ownership and investors\n\n- Raised: €52M in the Series C round in total, as of October 2021 (source https://www.simscale.com/press/simscale-raises-25m/)\n- Backed by: Insight Partners, Draper Esprit, Earlybird, Union Square Ventures, June Fund, Vito Ventures, Bayern Kapital, High-Tech Gründerfonds, Vsquared\n\n### Getting support\n\n- Support email: support@simscale.com\n- Support email: api@simscale.com\n- Help: https://www.simscale.com/docs/platform/api-and-sdk-documentation/\n- Community (SimScale Forum): https://www.simscale.com/forum/\n- Sources: https://www.simscale.com/about/, https://www.simscale.com/imprint/, https://www.simscale.com/press/, https://www.simscale.com/press/simscale-closes-series-c/, https://www.simscale.com/press/simscale-raises-25m/, https://www.simscale.com/, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SimScaleGmbH/simscale-python-sdk/master/README.md, https://www.simscale.com/.well-known/security.txt\n\n## Live (updated 2026-11-04 15:53 UTC)\n\n- security.txt: valid\n- Always current: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/live/simscale.json\n\n## Probe metrics\n\nNot measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. Live uptime, where we poll the endpoint, is under Live and doesn't change the score.\n\n## Strengths\n\n- 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\n- Sandbox under /sandbox with a fixed public key that returns example data for every endpoint and starts nothing\n- Official Python and C# SDKs generated from the document, with v1 editions named\n- SOC 2 Type II, a public Intigriti bug bounty with the API in scope, and a security.txt\n- Customers keep ownership of designs, simulations and results, and production runs on AWS in EU regions per the privacy statement\n\n## Weaknesses\n\n- API keys come only with the Enterprise plan, priced on request, and the SDK asks would-be integrators to email api@simscale.com\n- No status page, no SLA on any plan, and no rate limit or Retry-After documented beyond a single 429 response in the spec\n- One API key per user with no scopes, documented expiry or rotation\n- The Python SDK's newest release is 19.1.0 of 3 March 2026 and the SDK repository has no CI\n- API-created simulations may be locked out of the Workbench when schema versions diverge, and 10 of 98 v0 operations have no description\n\n\n\n## Before you call it (notes for agents)\n\n1. 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\n2. 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\n3. Pin simulationSpecSchemaVersion and meshingSpecSchemaVersion when fetching the OpenAPI document, since spec schemas change more often than the API and a mismatch locks the Workbench\n4. 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\n5. 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\n\n## Connect\n\nFirst request:\n\n```bash\ncurl -H \"X-API-KEY: sandbox-example-api-key\" https://api.simscale.com/v0/sandbox/projects\n```\n\nThrough letme: https://letme.dev/simscale. letme answers with the pick and how to call it direct.
