MUNICH, Germany, June 2, 2026 – SimScale has opened its cloud-native simulation infrastructure to third-party solvers and AI models through a new capability called Workflows. The release allows engineering teams to run proprietary methods, custom solvers and external AI models alongside SimScale’s simulation tools within the same environment.
Until now, the range of analyses available on SimScale depended on capabilities developed by the company. Workflows allows engineering organizations to integrate methods developed elsewhere and execute them within the same infrastructure used for simulation.
For developers and AI engineering firms, the capability provides access to SimScale’s cloud computing environment without requiring separate execution infrastructure. Integrated methods can use pre-processing, post-processing and AI tooling available within SimScale.
Enterprise engineering teams can also deploy proprietary tools and in-house solver branches through the same environment used by their existing workflows. This removes the need to move data and processes into disconnected external systems.
Workflows differs from external orchestration approaches because third-party methods operate within SimScale’s execution infrastructure. Integrated solvers can access elastic HPC provisioning, real-time collaboration, simulation data management and Physics AI pipelines. SimScale’s engineering agents can also configure, run and interpret simulations, import data, select methods, transfer results between solvers and trigger subsequent steps across multi-solver processes.
“Engineering innovation in simulation has too often been defined by what a single vendor chose to build or acquire,” said Jon Wilde, VP product at SimScale. “Workflows changes that equation. Whether you’re a solver developer wanting your technology in front of engineering teams at scale, or an organization with proprietary methods developed in-house over years, you can now bring that into SimScale and have it work as if it were always part of the platform. Instantly exposing it to our community of over 800,000 users.”
The capability is already in production. PAMICS, a meshless smoothed particle hydrodynamics solver from AI Engineering GmbH, is among the first solvers running through Workflows. The software is designed for complex fluid dynamics (CFD) involving moving assemblies, free surfaces and multiphase flows, and SimScale reports simulation speeds that are 10–20x faster than grid-based methods. The company plans to provide details of a formal partner program for solver developers later this year.
