It's best when it comes to user friendly design, performing actual calculation on server and when doing postprocessing. > > **Cons**: definitely price tag is rather high. it probably is not that accessible for small business because of that. ----- ### "ANSYS Review" — 5.0/5 > **Sumit** | *3 July 2019* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software has one of the best hyper-elastic material analysis. ANSYS Structural provides the best FEA result. Curve fitting option is best in this software. > > **Cons**: Transition between tetra and hexa mesh can be difficult. > > This software is a very helpful software for my daily job. I use ANSYS structural for my FEA analysis. This software provides me a very good result with few errors. ----- ### "This is a wonderful suite to perform precise simulation and get accurate results with multiple cores" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *23 July 2018* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1.) Its topology optimization in a latest update provides accurate results against shape optimization in old versions. 2.) This saves time when running multiple computes to get your desired mesh. > > **Cons**: 1.) It requires a wealth of knowledge and experience including theoretical \& practical. 2.) It costs high for learners and does not provide access to full set of tools. ----- ### "ANSYS for analysis and simulation" — 4.0/5 > **Hiran** | *30 December 2020* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The user can constraint the sketches with spaceclaim design options. New block recording feature allow the user to easily edit the CAD models which are imported from other CAD platform. Analysis is best in this software with detailed stress definition. Simulation of operation is also done. > > **Cons**: Use interface need to improved. Customer support needed with more multi domain representative. Software is bulk for lower configured workstations. > > 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. ----- ### "Makes engineering decissons easier..." — 5.0/5 > **Bora** | *19 June 2019* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ansys WB is quite complex tool with multiple modules. You can make any of the engineering calculations (simulations) here. It works with finite element method. It has too many modules as I only know solid and fluid modules I use them on my both academical studies and design business. > > **Cons**: It is really complex, deep as ocean\! Especially if you are working on the remote areas of engineering, it could be a night mare. Customer support knows basics that is OK however they can not always support you on your deep and complex problems. Also on Fluent module is not really capable for "mass transfer". ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/227650/ansys-spaceclaim?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/227650/ansys-spaceclaim) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
