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.
