"John Parsons with Elgin"

**Overall:** It's been intuitive to use after a walkthrough with my coworker, and what I haven't understood I've been able to ask SimScale about directly.

**Pros:** The product is relatively easy to use, and the tips we've gotten from SimScale reps have been useful. It's been great working with Ricardo. The option to edit a model in CAD is nice too. Subtracting objects from each other is easier in SimScale than inventor.

**Cons:** I've had runs fail or time out without knowing exactly what went wrong. I believe I had too many mesh cells, but I don't think I knew what a good target was.

"SimScale in design process"

**Overall:** I have had good experiences with using SimScale for FEA and thermal simulation.

**Pros:** Ease of use and implementation has made using SimScale software a success at DTS.

**Cons:** The minimum annual core hours and fee is a little much for our needs.
