SimScale Partners with AI Engineering GmbH for Ultra-Fast Meshless SPH Simulation

Revolutionary Partnership Brings Ultra-Fast Meshless SPH Simulation to the Cloud

SimScale, the leading cloud-native simulation platform, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with AI Engineering GmbH to integrate the PAMICS® meshless Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) solver into its cloud infrastructure. This collaboration, announced on March 16, 2026, promises to deliver simulation speeds 10-20 times faster for complex industrial applications, powered by NVIDIA AI infrastructure.

The Meshless Advantage

Traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations rely on mesh generation—a time-consuming process that can take hours or even days for complex geometries. The PAMICS solver eliminates this bottleneck entirely by using a Lagrangian SPH approach, where the fluid is represented by discrete particles rather than a fixed mesh. This meshless methodology dramatically accelerates simulation workflows, particularly for challenging scenarios involving multiphase flows, free surfaces, and complex geometries.

"The integration of PAMICS into SimScale's cloud platform represents a paradigm shift in how engineers approach fluid simulation," explains the technical documentation. "By removing the meshing step and leveraging cloud-scale computing resources, we're enabling engineers to iterate faster and explore more design alternatives."

Key Technical Capabilities

The PAMICS solver brings several advanced capabilities to SimScale's platform:

Multiphase Flow Modeling: The solver excels at simulating complex interactions between multiple fluid phases, including oil-water mixtures, non-Newtonian fluids, and gas-liquid systems. This makes it particularly valuable for industrial mixing and processing applications.

Free Surface Flows: SPH's particle-based nature makes it ideal for tracking free surfaces and interfaces without the numerical diffusion issues that plague traditional mesh-based methods. Applications include vehicle wading simulations, sloshing analysis, and coating processes.

Rotating Machinery: The solver's ability to handle moving boundaries and complex geometries makes it well-suited for lubrication and cooling analysis in powertrains, gearboxes, and other rotating equipment.

Cloud-Native Performance

By integrating PAMICS with SimScale's cloud infrastructure and NVIDIA AI capabilities, the partnership delivers unprecedented performance. The cloud-native architecture enables:

• Scalable Computing: Engineers can access virtually unlimited computing resources on-demand, eliminating the constraints of local workstations
• GPU Acceleration: NVIDIA AI infrastructure provides massive parallel processing power, achieving 10-20x speedups compared to traditional CPU-based approaches
• Advanced Visualization: Compatibility with NVIDIA Omniverse libraries enables photorealistic rendering and immersive visualization of simulation results

Industry Applications

The partnership targets several key industrial sectors:

Automotive Engineering: Vehicle wading simulations, underbody soiling analysis, and thermal management of electric powertrains benefit from the solver's ability to handle complex free-surface flows and multiphase interactions.

Industrial Processing: Chemical mixing, food processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing applications can leverage the solver's advanced multiphase capabilities and non-Newtonian fluid modeling.

Energy and Power: Oil lubrication and cooling systems in turbines, compressors, and gearboxes require accurate modeling of rotating machinery—a strength of the SPH approach.

Engineering AI and Digital Twins

Beyond immediate simulation needs, the partnership positions SPH simulation as a scalable source of synthetic data for Engineering AI and Digital Twin applications. The ability to rapidly generate large datasets of validated simulation results enables:

• Training of machine learning models for real-time prediction
• Creation of reduced-order models for embedded systems
• Development of digital twins that combine physics-based simulation with sensor data

Looking Forward

This collaboration represents a significant step toward democratizing advanced simulation capabilities. By combining AI Engineering GmbH's proven PAMICS technology with SimScale's accessible cloud platform, the partnership makes industrial-grade meshless simulation available to a broader range of engineers and organizations.

The integration is expected to be particularly transformative for small and medium-sized enterprises that previously lacked access to high-performance computing resources or specialized SPH expertise. With browser-based access and pay-as-you-go pricing, the barrier to entry for advanced fluid simulation has been dramatically lowered.
