Why not just general analysis-as-a-service? Tosca is already a somewhat niche product within analysis software.
FE and such analysis programs cost $X000/seat, but selling relatively few seats. How will you make money selling 'per simulation' or hourly compared to licenses?
Definately an interesting concept
- chroem- 11y agoThanks for the feedback! Engineering analysis is already a pretty much solved problem. Topology optimization, however, has a lot of benefits that have yet to be realized, and it's much more well suited to the SaaS model because of how computationally intensive it is, since the analysis needs to be performed many thousands of times. Because we outsource the capital cost of server hardware to AWS, we can scale linearly with demand which allows us to accept lower margins than our competitors. Our strategy is to make up for lower margins by reaching a much larger audience in industry than our competitors.
