Future of Simulation
Ansys Cloud is great for large simulation cases. For me a CFD case with millions of mesh elements would mostly benefit from this software.
Pros
The most important feature about this software is the vision that ANSYS has towards the future of simulation. A user/company could setup its cases locally then submit them to the cloud for fast/accurate results. This convenience removes the large initial cost on the user who will pay only for the resources used.
Cons
For now I don't any issue or bugs with Ansys Cloud. I only think the cost is a bit high compared to Cloud vendor like AWS or Azure. It should be noted however, that Ansys Cloud offers some degree of automation when exporting the works to the cloud.

Ansys cloud experience.
Really happy to use this software without it a lot of designs and analytics could be more hard to get.
Pros
Ansys is a most powerful and easy program even if it's not that easy to learn but still giving a lot of excellent options and especially details.
Cons
Little hard to learn all what the software is capable to do may take some time, and also need some secs or minutes to work sometimes.

Good entry, but could use some work
It seems like a nice entry into the cloud solution space, but could use some work on polishing the implementation.
Pros
Easy to set up and submit a job, nice reporting interface online
Cons
Not easy to recover data and integrate it with local solutions. Rather than having to download a standalone file, it would be nice if the data could be streamed back into the original solution, just as if you had run the simulation locally. Having to manage multiple version of the same file is a large pain.

Solving FEA/CFD problems that we otherwise could not afford to.
Pros
Access to full Ansys simulation packages for modest price
Cons
Licensing verification is touchy, something often seems to need to be updated or fixed. Good support helps bridge the gap.

User experience Review on Ansys Cloud
Ansys Cloud provide us the flexibility to expand our hardware capability whenever we needed.
Pros
Seamlessly integration into the workbench, make the adaption to use the cloud with workbench very easy
Cons
The difficulty to deploy/implement BYOL feature with existing license pool that we owned. A lot of hassle need to be done and setup before it can be use. I will expect or wish to have a simple GUI to allow user choose to use their own licenses or not, whenever they needed.

Useful but need to integrate LS-DYNA solver capabilities to the system
Pros
Support from the ANSYS team was really helpful.
Cons
The developer team should integrate LS-DYNA running capabilities since LS-DYNA was bought out by ANSYS.
Response from Ansys
Hello Sina
Thanks for your feedback, Ansys LS-Dyna is integrated on Ansys Cloud, please reach out to your support team they will explain you how to get set up .
Thanks
