BOSTON, MA, Jan 6, 2026 – Flexcompute has released Flow360 for commercial use on the Rescale cloud platform. The integration allows engineers to run GPU-native computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in the cloud without on-premise infrastructure. Flow360 also generates physics-based datasets used to train and validate Physics AI models, which apply machine learning to physical systems.
“The next generation of engineering demands simulation tools that can scale without compromise,” said Adam McKenzie, chief technology officer at Rescale. “Flexcompute’s GPU-native solvers deliver high-fidelity simulation at massive scale. This enables our customers to efficiently explore larger design spaces and accelerate their engineering processes.”
Flexcompute’s collaboration with Rescale adds Flow360 to the Rescale cloud platform. The integration allows Rescale customers to access physics-based simulation software used for computational analysis. The deployment supports engineering workflows and creates datasets used to train Physics AI models. Physics AI applies machine learning methods to simulate and analyze physical systems.
“This collaboration represents an important step toward the next generation of physics-based computing,” said Savithru Jayasinghe, head of CFD at Flexcompute. “Bringing our technology to Rescale’s environment expands an open ecosystem that gives engineers flexible access to high-fidelity simulation. Making our technology broadly available on the cloud is central to enabling users to push the limits of physics simulation and solve challenges that were previously out of reach.”
With Flow360 available on Rescale, engineering teams gain another option for running GPU-based simulation workloads in the cloud, without maintaining local computing infrastructure.
