New Rescale Experience: A Guide to the Enhanced Interface
Rescale’s new user interface (UI) is designed to provide a more cohesive and efficient environment for high-performance computing (HPCThe use of parallel processing for running advanced applicat... More). This update provides a unified, sidebar-driven navigation that simplifies how you manage simulations, data, and AI-driven insights. By streamlining your workflow, we are enabling engineering teams to move from setup to results faster than ever before.
Engineering workflows are becoming increasingly complex. By moving to a unified UI, we are delivering:
- Speed: Reduced clicks to complete common tasks.
- ScalabilityThe capability of a system to handle an increasing amount of... More: A UI that remains performant even when managing thousands of jobs.
- Intelligence: Direct access to data-driven insights, automated workflows, and AI-accelerated physics within the standard engineering workflow.
Key Features
The enhanced Rescale experience is built around a “single pane of glass” philosophy. By integrating advanced organizational tools with data-driven intelligence and AI-accelerated solvers, the platform now provides a seamless journey from initial modelA numerical, symbolic, or logical representation of a system... More setup to final analysis. These features are designed to scale with your most complex projects while maintaining the intuitive feel of a modern digital engineeringThe use of digital technologies, such as computer-aided desi...

A New Way to Navigate
- Persistent Sidebar: Access Jobs, Workstations, Rescale Data Intelligence, and Rescale AI PhysicsAlso referred to as Physics-Informed Machine Learning or Phy... More options from a collapsible menu on the left.
- Folder-First Navigation: Easily browse through your project hierarchies directly from the sidebar. You can now toggle between a flat list of all resources and a structured folder view to find exactly what you need.
- Breadcrumb Navigation: When interacting with Jobs & Workstations, clearly see your path within complex projects or nested folders to ensure you never lose your place.
The new interface isn’t just a visual update; it serves as the foundation for three powerful capabilities that enhance how you organize, automate, and analyze your work.
Workspace Folders: Organization at Scale
Managing high volumes of simulations is now easier with Workspace Folders. Workspace Folders provide a true hierarchical structure for your entire project lifecycle, allowing you to organize your work in a way that mirrors your real-world engineering teams and programs.
- Structure: Create nested folders to organize work by department, project phase, or team.
- Bulk Management: Select multiple resources in a folder to perform actions such as tagging, archiving, or moving to a different folder with a single action. Share folders directly with users or groups to bulk share resources.
- Collaboration: Share entire folder structures with specific users or your whole workspace with granular permissions.
Rescale Data Intelligence: Insights At Your Fingertips
Rescale Data Intelligence transforms raw simulationSimulation is experimentation, testing scenarios, and making... More outputs into actionable engineering assets. Instead of searching through thousands of unnamed files, the new interface allows you to treat your data as a strategic resource.
- Rescale Assistant: An AI-powered assistant integrated directly into the Rescale platform, designed to streamline interactions with engineering and simulation data.
- Automated MetadataMetadata is data that provides information about other data,... More Extraction: The platform automatically extracts key engineering parameters from your simulation files, making them searchable by performance criteria rather than just filename.
- Composable Workflows: Build and automate multi-step engineering processes using a drag-and-drop builder to connect modelingModeling is the creation of a mathematical or conceptual rep... More, simulation, and data processing into repeatable pipelines.
- Data Connectors: Enable seamless connections to your systems of record, facilitating centralized data access across all your tools and enhancing cross-team collaboration and data-driven decision-making.
- Visual Data Explorer: Use integrated visualizationVisualization is the representation of complex scientific or... More tools to identify trends and anomalies across massive datasets without downloading files to a local machine.
Rescale AI Physics: AI-Accelerated Simulation
The new UI provides a dedicated home for Rescale AI Physics, Rescale’s solution for integrating machine learning (ML)Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that... More with traditional physics-based solvers. This allows teams to drastically reduce cycle times by augmenting high-fidelity simulations with AI.
- Surrogate Model Deployment: Train and deploy AI surrogate models that can predict complex physics behaviors in seconds rather than hours or days.
- Hybrid Workflows: Seamlessly combine traditional solvers (like CFD or FEA) with AI models to explore larger design spaces with higher efficiency.
- Real-time Inference: Use the AI Physics dashboard to run real-time “what-if” scenarios, providing engineers with immediate feedback during the early design phase.

Path to the Unified UI
Our goal is to ensure a smooth and productive transition to this modern environment. While you can currently toggle between the New Experience and the Classic UI via your sidebar preferences, we encourage you to begin your transition now to take advantage of Rescale’s latest innovations.
What you need to know:
- Exclusive Capabilities: Future-ready features like Data Intelligence and AI Physics are built specifically for this new foundation. To access these advanced modules, please contact your Rescale account team.
- Focusing on Performance: To ensure we are providing the most stable and high-performance environment, the Classic UI is scheduled to be sunset later this year. We will provide updates and support throughout this process.
- Collaborative Refinement: Your feedback directly shapes our roadmap. Please use the “Submit Feedback” option in the sidebar to share your thoughts as we continue to refine the interface.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I turn on the new experience?
You can opt in to the new UI via the toggle in the navigation bar. We recommend trying it out early to familiarize yourself with the new sidebar.
What’s happening to the classic UI?
While moving to a unified experience, users can temporarily switch back to the Classic UI via the sidebar toggle. However, we strongly encourage staying in the new experience to familiarize yourself with navigation and utilize exclusive features like Workspace Folders and AI Physics. The Classic UI is scheduled for sunset later this year.
How do Workspace Folders work with my existing tags?
Resource Tagging remains an important part of the Rescale platform, and it isn’t changing. While Workspace Folders provide a structural hierarchy to organize your work, tags remain fully active and searchable across all folders. You can continue to use tags for cross-functional categorization and metadata management.
