Pros/Cons
Pros
- I would recommend it for anyone with large datasets that can be represented or comprises of numbers. The documentation and community forum were excellent and often contained really helpful tools.
- It's a great features of MATLAB which helps in documentations. The plotting option is also a great option in MATLAB.
- Very good software to start learning programming at the same time we gain the ability to create meaningful projects.
Cons
- Nevertheless, it is sometimes hard to get MATLAB to do exactly what you need, due to missing features or a confusing programming interface.
- The saving of files can be annoying sometimes and slow, and often the software crashes due to a bug, which is annoying.
- Sometimes it can be a pain manuevering around your equation if you want to make changes. I find the same problem with MathCAD.
Pros
- It has a great range of features from linear static to modal and more. I like the the feature where simulations setups can be copied over to new version of the design automatically.
- I like the simplicity of the software interface and ease of use.
- It seems great is very powerful for simulation. Offers you a lot of features and tools for 3d cad design.
Cons
- The results can be very inaccurate depending on the problem. And to very the error can be very difficult because to do convergence study you have to run the model from the beginning every time.
- Missing components and functions cannot be modeled in SimSolid.
- Also the model discretization for results visualization sometimes looks very rough and there is no control for that (created a ticket already).
