Cloud computing has revolutionized the design process, providing engineering professionals today with the possibility to create, virtually test, and optimize CAD models end-to-end from a standard web browser.

Having launched the “Connector App” integration in 2015 for a smoother design-simulation workflow, Onshape and SimScale are two cloud-based solutions that can be used together in the design process. Their users create designs online in Onshape and run engineering simulations with SimScale to virtually test them and predict flaws or identify potential improvements. The simulation results provide the required data for engineers to better understand how their design would perform in real life and optimize until the best iteration is found.

In an exclusive webinar on January 23, 2020, organized by Onshape and SimScale, participants will learn the benefits of cloud-based design and how they can gain access to valuable solutions. All details can be found below:

The session will include a demo of both tools, using an electronics cooling example. The CAD model of a programmable heating mantle created in Onshape will be tested using conjugate heat transfer analysis with SimScale to verify if thermal power from the heating components dissipates effectively, thus preventing overheating.

No prior knowledge or software is required to join this exclusive webinar. All participants receive free access to Onshape and SimScale via the Professional Trial and the Community Plan.

Registrants unable to attend the live webinar will receive the recording via email.
