The integration with other programs (such as Solidworks) is very helpful for me because I can use my existing model files and not have to recreate them. It is also easy to share models with others in the office. There are some features of SimScale that I wish weren't limited to professional users. For example, I'd like to be able to download the software without paying for it. If you're looking for a tool to help visualize your designs, then this is the right program for you. I'm using it to create and visualize 3D printed components.
