Rescale, a leading provider of simulation and high-performance computing (HPC) platforms, has announced the public availability of its Europe region platforms, including ScaleX Enterprise, ScaleX Pro, and ScaleX Developer, which cater to European companies with data control restrictions. These platforms allow companies to scale computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulations on-demand within a secure HPC environment, offering a consolidated platform optimized for dynamic engineering workloads. This new deployment ensures that European firms can leverage cloud computing benefits while adhering to regional data regulations, thanks to localized data centers that guarantee quick data transfer and compliance. With this Europe-specific deployment, Rescale enhances its offerings by providing high-performance hardware and simulation software in a unified environment, thereby enabling companies to rapidly adapt to changing engineering demands while maintaining necessary security and data control measures. Rescale is headquartered in San Francisco and serves various sectors, including aerospace, automotive, and life sciences, through a web-based application environment supported by leading simulation software providers and extensive HPC infrastructure.

Rescale now offers an in-browser editor feature that allows users to modify input files directly before running a job, enhancing convenience in file preparation. Accessible in the Input Files step of an un-submitted job, this tool supports basic search and replace functions, including the use of regular expressions, with shortcuts available for quick access on different operating systems. The editor can handle files under 800kb and specific file types, and any changes made will result in a new version of the file being uploaded to Rescale with the original filename, while the initial file remains available for reference. Users can view various file versions by selecting the "Use files from cloud storage" option, where the file currently utilized by the job is highlighted with a gray background. Rescale Engineering encourages feedback on this feature through their provided email address.
