## Actran Reviews
  ### 1. Excellent software for designing and modeling in the automotive industry

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Guadalupe R. | HR generalist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2021

**What do you like best about Actran?**

Simulate acoustic noise in an automotive company, it's easy to use, and the interface is straightforward to understand.

**What do you dislike about Actran?**

the variants of activities you can do are limited

**Recommendations to others considering Actran:**

Start using different options and join the other models that can help generate a new process. Look up some videos on youtube while you adapt yourself to the interface.

**What problems is Actran solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use it to analyze acoustic models to see the vibration and noise that could be generated. In the same way, we use it to check the structural vibration. Developing the studies is very fast and easy.

  ### 2. Fantastic Simulation and Transfer Path Mode analysis

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2019

**What do you like best about Actran?**

Friendly GUI. Natural and Absorption Mode analysis tools. Dampen/Amplify amplitude and frequency modulation analyses

**What do you dislike about Actran?**

Lacks Integration with Head acoustics tools

**Recommendations to others considering Actran:**

Solid acoustic analysis software to improve the performance of air-borne and structure-borne traits of your product.

**What problems is Actran solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Transfer path analysis on automotive acoustic components.
