What UberCloud does

UberCloud, Inc., doing business as Simr, is a privately held US software company headquartered in Los Altos, California, that provides the Simr platform for automating engineering simulations on cloud and on-premise high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. The platform implements a Simulation Operations Automation (SimOps) approach, automating the full simulation lifecycle from infrastructure setup through workflow execution, with native integrations to leading engineering solvers (ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL, NUMECA) and deployment support across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and on-premise environments. Customers provision their own compute resources under existing enterprise cloud agreements, with Simr providing the orchestration, security, and workflow portability layer.

The company serves engineering-driven manufacturing and industrial enterprises (including FLSmidth, Freudenberg, Dehn, Buro Happold, and Rimac) that require scalable HPC for CFD, FEA, and multi-physics simulations across aerospace, automotive, mining, electrical equipment, and medical device applications. UberCloud monetizes through a per-user annual subscription for the Simr platform with no separate per-simulation fees, supported by an enterprise field sales motion, self-service deployment, and analyst validation from CIMdata, Cambashi, and Intersect360 Research. In 2024 the company spun off the SimOps Foundation as an independent non-profit in Sunnyvale, California, to provide training, certifications, and a shared software stack for SimOps practitioners across HPC and AI workloads.

Revenue model

1. Platform Subscription (Per-User): Straightforward per-user pricing model for platform access. Customers provide their own compute resources (cloud or on-premise), allowing organizations to leverage existing cloud service agreements. No separate charges for individual simulations, reducing unpredictable costs.
2. Cloud Infrastructure (Customer-Provisioned): Customers use their own cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and existing enterprise agreements, with Simr providing the software platform layer rather than compute resources.

Core offering

UberCloud (doing business as Simr) provides the Simr SimOps platform that automates engineering simulation workflows on cloud and on-premise HPC infrastructure. The platform integrates natively with leading CAE tools (ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL, NUMECA), dynamically allocates cloud resources, and runs inside customer-secure environments across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and on-premise deployments. Customers access the platform via per-user subscriptions while supplying their own compute resources.

Product overview

Simr (formerly UberCloud) offers a unified Simulation Operations Automation (SimOps) platform as its core product. The platform enables organizations to run simulations anytime and anywhere through a fully automated, self-service approach. It integrates seamlessly with leading simulation tools (ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL) and leverages customer-provided cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) or on-premise environments. The platform automates the entire simulation lifecycle from design to execution, optimizes cloud resource allocation, and enables engineering teams to focus on innovation rather than operational overhead.
