SimScale was founded in 2012 by David Heiny, Vincenz Dölle, Johannes Probst, Alex Fischer and Anatol Dammer.

The five founders initially considered building a simulation consultancy together and it was through evolving this idea that the foundations for SimScale arose. In 2011, when cloud-computing was not as mainstream as it is today, they had the idea to create a simulation platform, which allows every engineer in the world to get access to simulation software via their browsers. This vision is the underpinning of our company today. Our founders are still involved in the company, albeit in vastly different roles to when they started, as the team has grown from 5 student friends into a well-known cloud-based simulation software company.
