SimScale and PTC Collaborate for Startups

SimScale, provider of cloud-native engineering simulation software, announces a strategic collaboration with PTC and its Onshape solution, a software-as-a-service-based CAD platform. Through this collaboration, SimScale will introduce an offering for start-ups and entrepreneurs worldwide by granting eligible members of the Onshape Start-Up Program with 3 months of free Professional License access to SimScale’s platform.

This access to SimScale’s  cloud-native simulation capabilities will enable startups to analyze and optimize their computer-aided (CAD) designs, helping accelerate the launch of products, the companies note.

The Onshape Start-Up Program is designed to support emerging businesses by providing access to CAD and computer-aided engineering tools. By collaborating with SimScale, Onshape expands its offering to its Start-Up Program community, equipping start-ups with cloud-native simulation technology. By combining CAD designs in Onshape with the simulation of SimScale, startups can perform fluid, thermal, structural, and other complex analyses in the cloud. This integrated workflow enables refinement of designs faster, optimized performance earlier, and reduced costs, companies note.

"At SimScale, we’re committed to democratizing access to powerful simulation technology, empowering engineers and designers to make informed, data-driven decisions starting at the earliest stages of product development," says David Heiny, SimScale CEO. "Our relationship with Onshape exemplifies this mission and provides start-ups with access to a complete, cloud-based toolkit that is flexible, accessible, and scalable.”

By providing cloud-native tools at no cost for an initial period, SimScale and Onshape are enabling startups to enter the market with competitive, validated products.
