This comment is NOT about SimSolid, but about the survey. It's too constricted in how questions are to be answered, when drop-down choices don't include what I want to say. Saw this earlier on page 1 and 2.

1) ZERO need to spend time to mesh a model 2) ZERO need to spend time to first simplify a model, and remove small details, features, etc. 3) Ability to import a huge number of neutral file formats, as well as NATIVE CAD file formats 4) Ability to run a simulation in seconds to minutes. That REALLY happens! 5) Small footprint of disk space used, once installed. Surprisingly compact. 6) Ability to handle increasingly more complex types of simulations, as it has evolved over time

1) It will be nice if/when the GUI that is as it was designed (before the acquisition by Altair), can be more similar or eventually the same, as the GUI used with Inspire 2) The Tutorials are very good, but there can never be enough. More examples, videos, tutorials would be welcome.

I use SIMSOLID to simulate various mechanisms. I do linear, non-linear and modal analysis but the software has over capacities (dynamics and thermal). The mechanisms I work on are complex with a lot of contact between the parts. I can obtain results after few clicks and few minutes, this allows me to test a maximum of solutions in a very short time.

Possibility to import natif CAD format. Type of analyzes that can be performed: linear, non-linear (geometry, materials, contact), modal, dynamic and thermal. It is possible to automatically create weld beads , to detect contacts and to detect scews/bolts. The software is always update with new features. The support can easily be reached

You can't modify for the moment the CAD in SIMSOLID interface. The import of CAD is a little bit long

Easy to use geometrically model without mesh. Easy to use local 9n laptop for complex models.

Should be added something related by explicit analysis, but I guess Is not easy. And perhaps in future something related by an interface with a deep learning model.

It can take the full CAD, right down to the nuts and bolts, and use it add more detail to the analysis. 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

It seems simple but there are some key settings you have to get right in order to get sensible results. Sometimes habdling the number of contacts and joints in an assembly is unwieldy.

Only positiv experience of SimSolid. Easy to use and to learn. As you have to import all geometry, it is a good feature that SimSolid can recognice if it is a simular geometry, BC and other features applies directly and you get many different results in the tree to caompare.

Easy to use, you do not have to mesh the model something that take a lot of time. Wery fast solver, 5 time faster then traditional FE softare. Easy to learn, many features and is still under development.

Maybe to easy to use. Have seen som strange results that I can not explain.
