SimScale Develops API and Digital Wind Tunnel Solution for AEC

SimScale GmbH, the provider of the world’s first production-ready SaaS application for engineering simulation, today announced a major platform development to enable integration and automation with their new application programming interface (API). The feature allows designers, engineers, and computational designers to link their preferred CAD tools directly to the SimScale simulation engine via the API. When designers need to use the power of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to optimize the performance of their designs, the typical workflow is to import a CAD model into the CFD software and run the simulation. This means the simulation process goes from the designer to simulation specialist in a cumbersome process which stifles the iterative design process as well as resulting findings, especially during early design stages. SimScale’s API now allows direct integration with a CAD software stack like Rhino and Grasshopper.
