Sim4Life for Students — We Support Education and Research
- free but limited #elements
- instant access anywhere
- private and shared projects
- all projects compatible with the desktop versions
- collaborate in real-time
- all solvers, many tools
- one ViP V3 model
- no HPC-enabled solvers
- no 3rd-party tools
We offer special licenses for the academic community, including undergraduate and graduate students, as well as scientists in universities and research institutions:
- Sim4Life.lite
- Sim4Life for Science
Sim4Life for Science is crafted for scientists requiring computational modeling solutions with select features tailored to their research needs. Available at no cost through the Sim4Life for Science program contract, it is exclusively restricted to research purposes at universities and academic institutes. Find out more here.
Sim4Life.lite
Sim4Life.lite is the student version of our cutting-edge online simulation platform, available free-of-charge for both graduate and undergraduate students. It is the limited version of the full platform, Sim4Life, specifically designed to enhance students' understanding of computational modeling and simulations across a diverse range of topics, from wireless communication to medical applications.
- Free-of-charge
- Access, run, and share simulations in the cloud easily from any browser
- Offers the same features as the desktop version but is more flexible
- Does not require powerful in-house computational resources

Student Competition 2024
Enter the contest and win one of our exciting prizes!
The Sim4Life.lite Student Competition 2024 has been created to recognize outstanding work in numerical simulations in a variety of research areas. Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD students are encouraged to enter the competition by submitting their original simulation projects developed with our online platform Sim4Life.lite.
Who can participate?
Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD students
How to participate?
Each participant must:
• define a unique problem that can be solved numerically with our multiphysics platform Sim4Life.lite
• create a free Sim4Life.lite account by filling out the form here
• log in to the Sim4Life.lite account at https://sim4life-lite.io/ page to start modeling and performing simulations in Sim4Life.lite to solve the unique problem
• generate a short report based on this template
• share the simulation project in Sim4Life.lite by tagging it with “Simulation Competition 24” by 31 October 2024, 23:59h Swiss local time
Successful submission of a project will be confirmed by email.
Evaluation criteria
The submitted projects will be evaluated by a panel of experts according to the following criteria:
• scientific value / importance
• originality / complexity
• appropriate use of Sim4Life.lite modeling tools, solvers, analysis, Python notebook, and libraries
• proper application of methodology, verification and validation, and confidence intervals, and recognition of limitations
• quality of reporting in terms of clarity, completeness, and presentation, including visuals
Winners
The winners will be notified individually via email between 1 and 15 of December 2024, and prizes will be officially announced by ZMT thereafter.
