FAQ
Frequently Asked
Questions
Everything you need to know about SimFlow CFD software.
01What's the difference between Free and Commercial?
The Free version includes the same physics engine, solvers, and models as the commercial plans. The difference is in performance limits: Free is capped at 200,000 mesh nodes and 1 CPU. Commercial plans remove all limits and add professional engineering support and automatic updates.
02What is a Floating License?
A Floating License can be used on any computer within your network, one at a time. This is ideal for teams where multiple engineers share access. A Single Seat license is locked to a specific machine.
03Do you offer perpetual licenses?
Yes. Perpetual licenses are available as an alternative to the annual subscription. They include one year of maintenance (updates and support), with optional yearly renewals. Contact us for details and pricing.
04Is SimFlow cloud-based?
No. SimFlow runs locally on your machine - Windows, Linux, or macOS (including Apple Silicon). You can also connect it to any HPC cluster for large-scale jobs. An offline license option is available for secure environments.
05Which OpenFOAM versions are supported?
SimFlow currently supports OpenFOAM 6, OpenFOAM 1812, and OpenFOAM 2212. Installation is supported locally, via Docker, or through Windows Subsystem for Linux.
06Can I use custom solvers or boundary conditions?
Yes. SimFlow allows integration of user-defined solvers and boundary conditions, so you can extend the platform with your own models.
07Do you offer academic pricing?
Yes. We provide special pricing for universities and research institutions. Contact us with details about your use case - teaching, non-profit research, or commercial research.
08In which currencies can I pay?
Prices are listed in EUR. We also offer pricing in USD, GBP, CHF, and PLN. Contact us for a quote in your preferred currency.
