Pros/Cons
Pros
- It has improved a lot and, at this time, I think is the best simulation software. As a profesor and a researcher, my students and I take advantage of its flexibility, easy of use, and performance.
- It is a good simulation software with easy to understand charts and reports. Its visuals are very good and easy to use.
- People are pleased with the quality of the visual output and now that we can use the Occulus Rift to provide an immersive experience, there is even more to be pleased about SIMIO.
Cons
- More slow for complex simulations. I don't find any other disadvantage.
- They sometimes seem to get stuck against each other instead of walking around each others.
- Too much clicks required. Lack of quick programming shorcuts.
Pros
- The 3D capabilities of this software are great visuals. The input was fairly easy, and the calculus based operations were helpful in understanding the concepts.
- The interface is aesthetically pleasing and intuitive. The ability to add hierarchical cells is a big advantage and allows to format notebook in a beautiful way.
- It’s amazing when you don’t need to write code and just need to analyse some data. It helps in speeding up work and great for college studies.
Cons
- Often Mathematica code won't run for entirely unexplained reasons. The program is often unintuitive and aggravating, and for a program touting its usability, this is unacceptable.
- Its difficult to understand the typos or mistakes, as the displayed error message is not easy to understand. There is a learning curve associated with the use of Mathematica.
- I dislike how the tutorials are not very well organized.
