Orbital Stack	N/A	N/A	Orbital Stack is a CFD web-based software that provides earlier qualitative guidance, comparing a large number of design options on shape/massing and land -use, while highlighting any potential red flags. It allows for the realization of a variety of climate-conscious, high-performance developments not previously feasible due to cost and/or time constraints associated with traditional studies. Orbital Stack is a digital climate-analysis tool built by developers in wind and…	$0 per month per user
SimScale	Score9.6 out of 10	N/A	SimScale is an engineering simulation platform that aims to revolutionize the way engineers, designers, scientists, and students design products. The SimScale platform is fully cloud-based and is accessible completely via a standard web browser. The easy-to-use interface supports numerous simulation types including Structural Mechanics, Fluid Dynamics, Thermodynamics, and more. The vendor says that SimScale eliminates many of the hurdles that accompany traditional simulation tools: high…	N/A

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Orbital Stack No answers on this topic	SimScale GmbH For a small company, SimScale is a great fit. It allows me to gain the use and support of higher-end software analysis on demand without the traditional high cost. This is super convenient for a company that does occasional design and analysis. Since the computing is cloud-based it also allows me to process large and detailed models without the high hardware cost that can be required. One potential drawback is that the design information is stored on someone else's server. For some industries and companies this would be a deal-breaker.

Pros	Orbital Stack No answers on this topic	SimScale GmbH Material non-linear analysis. Geometric non-linear analysis. Meshing. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Cons	Orbital Stack No answers on this topic	SimScale GmbH 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. Incentivized John T. Winter Senior Mechanical Engineer Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Orbital Stack No answers on this topic	SimScale GmbH 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.

Alternatives Considered	Orbital Stack No answers on this topic	SimScale GmbH SimScale is much faster to spin up on than OpenFOAM. Ansys CFD tools are much more expensive! Both tools require expensive computing equipment to run, which SimScale does not! Incentivized Erika Boeing CEO Read full review
Return on Investment	Orbital Stack No answers on this topic	SimScale GmbH It has allowed us to increase our service offering which has lead to additional work. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
