EP04 - David Heiny - SimScale

Today I’m lucky enough to catch-up with David Heiny, one of the five co-founders of SimScale - the impressive cloud simulation platform for FEA & CFD. We touch on: • how software-as-a-service might help to bring simulation into design processes that currently/traditionally don’t benefit from FEA & CFD analysis; • how introducing a community aspect to their platform has helped lower the barriers to entry for new users & incentivised the exchange of know-how; • the importance, as they see it, of having a freemium business model with a useful free tier, rather than just a free trial; • venture capital funding in the cloud simulation space; Links SimScale - https://www.simscale.com/
