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
- The Support team are also absolutely fantastic and really help answer any questions that I may have - they are such a great asset.
- Simul8 clearly recruits great talent, both on a personal and professional level. Overall - Simul8 has been great to do business with and well worth the investment.
- Great tool and very powerful. Like everything there is a learning curve, but you can get good results very quickly and as your learning progresses, you can build even more insightful models.
Cons
- Another limitation is that sometimes while using this software, operator travel link becomes corrupt creating difficulty for the users.
- Struggle to find answers to my particular visual logic problems online - always require customer support.
- The VL interface is also quite frustrating as compared to normal programming languages. Finding commands is difficult, and the use of the interface is not intuitive.
