SimScale
In this episode David and I chat about how there's some evangelism to be done before simulation will be spread into everyone's design process
Today I’m lucky enough to catch-up with David Heiny, one of the five co-founders of SimScale – the impressive cloud simulation platform for FEA & CFD. We touch on:
- how software-as-a-service might help to bring simulation into design processes that currently/traditionally don’t benefit from FEA & CFD analysis;
- how introducing a community aspect to their platform has helped lower the barriers to entry for new users & incentivised the exchange of know-how;
- the importance, as they see it, of having a freemium business model with a useful free tier, rather than just a free trial;
- venture capital funding in the cloud simulation space;
