I dislike how there are so many options that don't seem to apply to my job. I suppose this same thing happens with many positions though.

A great software for virtual stress analysis. One can save a lot of prototype cost by analysing the structures virtually.

ANSYS Fluent is the best program in the market.I think there isn't any good alternative for fluent analysis.

Overall great software whoever interested with fluid dynamics simulation.

For simulation and analysis this is the best CAD software one can go for. The Latest version is an add-on with more useful feature to ANYSYS spaceclaim enables the user to get the job done.

Setting up the boundary conditions takes a lot of planning. This software is over kill for the types of simulations I was doing.

Interface is difficult to understand at the begining.

I have used it for both thermal and mechanical analysis. There is also some useful online support from the community.

Very robust and can handle anything. This software has a nice GUI that is easy to navigate and reporting results is very clean.

Various engineering tools for any  kind company are offered by ANSYS. It has a great training/help documents with hyperlinks which you can reach easily what you what.

We can calculate various parameters like stress, safety margin,total deformation and also helps in finding out how good mesh is.

I used the fluent of ansys product series. It is quite famous in the industry and provides very powerful solutions.

Being able to integrate existing SolidWorks files seamlessly was a great feature that saved the team a lot of time creating new models.

It is easy to use and the Ansys customer support is very helpful and responsive.

Ansys' adaptive mesh refinement does an outstanding job of meshing the geometry automatically which is great for a first pass analysis.

I used it for subsea pipelines buckling and walking analysis. Computation is easy and help page is very useful to find out the application.

It's really hard to get used to use interfaces at the beginning. User interface is really complicated.

ANSYS is a great software that can be useful for simulations.

It’s so practical and easy to use. I stared with simple tasks and I finished doing complex tasks and performing the geometry for optimal conditions for my simulations.

Troubleshooting with ANSYS is very painful and the interface is a bit challenging in the beginning to get used to.

Difficult to entegrate it with a PLM program. Ergo, file management is bad.

Ansys is unique leader in FEA Simulation space at the same time license manager 17.2 with tomcat service are more stable than any licensing services.

It's already a popular software for simulation. I like the way it integrated designing tools in it and every tool has a description so that new people don't find it unfriendly to use.

It crushes during simulations after which you will have to restart all of your work.

I have used solidworks,inventor , fusion 360,but when it comes to simulation it is the best 3d modelling software. My experience quite well using this app.

The capabilities and software’s strong core to achieve complex 3D graphics. User friendly and full of tools that makes easier engineer’s job.

Maybe the cost; I was not a part of that decision but it's hard to give the same functionality to others on the team when licenses cost what they do.

High End dedicated simulation software for greater presentations.

It very capable validation software is used for engineering with having complex interface and performance failure.

Post-processing was straightforward due to the dynamic functionality of the software. Great for most projects.

Sometimes difficult to import assemblies from other softwares.

The interface is pretty straightforward and the team behind SimScale is constantly working on improving it. The automated mesher functions great and succeeds at meshing complex geometries.

There are problems sometimes with darawing or software and you are not quite sure what is really wrong that sumulation can not start.

I am an OpenFOAM user and I like the freedom it gives the user to play with the parameters. SimScale offers the same level of freedom but with an interface that's simple and effortless to handle.

Sometimes it was a bit confusing what could create a simulation fail.

From the onboarding project that helped me get started, to the regular web-meetings with an experienced Customer Success Engineer, the customer support of SimScale excels at many levels.

As a user also of moldflo software (Cadmould or Solidworks Plastics) I'm still lookig for this functionality in the SimScale, however CFD simulations are still difficult to run.

Clear guide for the input of the parameters. Fantastic support: fast, competent and helpful.

Basically, I am very satisfied with the software and look forward to the further projects. So far, I have been able to increase efficiency from project to project.

The ease of use and how quickly I was able to run a basic simulation was amazing. Even importing geometry was easy.

Maybe, the website is a little bit confusing, and the materials in some case is not updated up to day.

It is possible to research or test new designs to see if it gives a better result. Here's an easy way to save time and money.

I love the ability to import my existing 3D files into SimScale and work on those easily. This makes it a true cross compatible application.

If you use the chat you will have mostly an answer within a couple of minutes from one of the lovely simscale staff. You really feel that they will do their best to make your project a success.

Excellent product at a reasonable price. With a professional subscription you get privacy for your data and a fixed amount of core hours that can be used for simulations.

What I liked the most about the platform is the dedicated customer support.

Our use of SimScale was, in every respect, the product of an unforeseen use-case - and it happened to have a positive impact on our company.

The direct browser integration makes it suitable for all operation systems. Having 64 cores available is very impressive.
