Summary

SimFlow is desktop software for computational fluid dynamics, covering work from mesh generation through post-processing. It runs locally on Windows, Linux, and macOS, including Apple Silicon, and simulations remain on the user's hardware. The Free plan needs no signup or credit card and has no time limit, but is limited to 200,000 mesh nodes and one CPU. All plans include the full simulation engine. SimFlow supports jobs on local clusters, remote servers, or cloud resources, along with HPC-grade parallel computing without per-core or hourly charges. An offline licensing option is available for secure environments. CAD import formats include STL, STEP, IGES, OBJ, and BRep; results can be exported in VTK, Fluent, Tecplot, and Ensight formats. Integrations include ParaView, OpenFOAM, Docker, and Windows Subsystem for Linux. Commercial plans add engineering and technical support, training, and onboarding. Professional costs €8,000 per year and Enterprise costs €10,000 per year; both offer a 30-day trial. Perpetual licenses are also available.

Who it is for
