Incredible Tool
The software's remarkable speed, driven by the innovative "meshless" method, allows for swift yet accurate analyses, revolutionizing traditional simulation timelines. SimSolid's user-friendly interface and compatibility with multiple CAD formats make it accessible to engineers of all levels, facilitating a seamless and efficient workflow. The software's precision and reliability, coupled with its quick processing capabilities, have garnered widespread acclaim, making Altair SimSolid an invaluable tool for optimizing product designs and enhancing overall development cycles.
PROSAltair SimSolid is highly praised for its exceptional speed, accuracy, and user-friendly interface. Its unique "meshless" method allows for rapid yet precise structural analysis, saving valuable time in product development. The software's intuitive design and compatibility with various CAD formats make it accessible to both seasoned engineers and newcomers. SimSolid's robust solver ensures reliable results, contributing to efficient and informed decision-making in the design process. Overall, it stands out as a revolutionary simulation tool that significantly enhances the speed and reliability of structural analysis.
CONSLittle acceptance by the industry, as it is still a novelty.

Lead Time reduction for CAE simulation
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.
PROSPossibility 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
CONSYou can't modify for the moment the CAD in SIMSOLID interface. The import of CAD is a little bit long
Reasons for switching to SimSolid
Simulations are faster The software has a better Value for Money The support is better

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

Thanks for the feedback!

Easy to use for our students
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.
PROSEasy 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.
CONSMaybe to easy to use. Have seen som strange results that I can not explain.
Reasons for switching to SimSolid
We did not switch, we use both FE software and SimSolid

Speed of Design-with SIMSOLID
For linear static SIMSOLID is the best option for solving- single part as well whole assembly simulation of the parts.User friendlieness, solving speed is very high.Results accuracey very good in simple linear static analysisTransient,nonlinear analysis yet to be validated
PROSEase of learn,use and take out the resultsFastner Pretension resultsStructure as whole assembly simulation
CONSResults accuracey sometimes need to be verifiedModel corrections not possibleUndo option is not availableMeasure,move,replace parts in Assembly is not possible
