What it does

SimScale is challenging the “status quo” of the traditional computer-aided engineering (CAE) software market by offering a fully cloud-based engineering simulation solution with zero hardware and software footprint, available at the fraction of the price of its competitors.

SimScale is AI-native, cloud engineering simulation software for CFD, FEA, thermal & electromagnetics. Run simulations in your browser.

    Hey HN, Waleed here. We're building Sim (https://sim.ai/), an open-source visual editor to build agentic workflows. Repo here: https://github.com/simstudioai/sim/. Docs here: https://docs.sim.ai. You can run Sim locally using Docker, with no execution limits or other restrictions. We started building Sim almost a year ago after repeatedly troubleshooting why our agents failed in production. Code-first frameworks felt hard to debug because of implicit control flow, and workflow platforms added more overhead than they removed. We wanted…

    Hi HN, we are building SimBricks, an open-source simulation framework for heterogeneous systems, especially with custom hardware. SimBricks modularly combines existing simulators for machines, networks, and hardware, allowing you to build, test, and evaluate intricate complete systems in a virtual environment. Head over to the SimBricks website (https://simbricks.github.io/, also has a quick demo video) to learn more. We have pre-built docker images, and you can even immediately play around on codespaces. Concrete use-cases: - Evaluate HW accelerators, from early design with…

    Just sharing this project [0] I've worked on a while ago, it's not that interesting but I was proud of making it. It has a CLI and a GUI that is done with Dear ImGui and includes an instruction editor, memory and registers viewer, and a canvas that is manipulated with an extra instruction made specifically for the GUI! This is not my first attempt at a virtual machine implementation, I've done the popular LC-3 VM before [1], check it out if you're interested to see Rust code rather than C++ ;) [0]: https://github.com/faresbakhit/vole-sim [1]:…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
