CostPerform vs. SimScale

CostPerform is best suited for times where clients are looking to understand how their costs work within their business. A lot of the time, costs are not completely understood, or there are times where costs are allocated to the wrong items. This platform will allow for clients to more simply understand what their costs are used for

SimScale has a quick learning ramp. This is due to the excellent staff at SimScale. I've had interns in their 2nd year of a BSME degree pick this program up and solve some difficult incompressible flow simulations. They love it and I love that we can iterate so quickly on a tool that doesn't stop their other design work. We can run a simulation and get back to designing in CAD. We get notified when the simulation is done. It's great! Give it a try for free and see for yourself.

• Learning from tutorials is great, but limiting. The online help is a must.
• Some simulations take a lot of time, but at least it's not on your PC.
• Sometimes the software times out due to the server.

I had a great experience with SimScale but we only used the software for a short period of time to complete the current design requirements. It is not a software that we would continually subscribe to. Next subscription event would occur when there is a design requirement to do so.

Working together, these platforms allow for a holistic view of costs and how they work within a business. Thought they are different, and function differently, CostPerform is the most user friendly

We chose to go with SimScale based mostly on capital cost. Competitors have a large upfront cost and also require expensive hardware to properly run them. Even their subscription cost is competitive with the annual cost of others.

• We've been able to iterate through a large number of designs more quickly than we would have without a CFD simulation, and also compared to the time it would have taken to prepare most other CFD simulations.
• Affordable price, and it prevented us from needing to invest in expensive computing equipment.
• Help from the support team also sped up the process of modeling different scenarios!
