I appreciate its ready-to-use functionality, as it enhances my ability to design metal-formed products more effectively. By enabling early consideration of formability, process parameters, cost, and other critical factors, it facilitates a more efficient and optimized design process.

It does not yet fully support advanced material yet, such as carbon fiber-reinforced composites, as the database is still incomplete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GUI Easy of doing. Features are easy to understand for CAE engineer also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simulation accuracy is not so good but for initial design concept point of view its good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very to do design modification and optimisation of automotive parts. Very useful tools to design the complex parts with parametric models Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slow performance and needs to be improve more design tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Inspire can be easy to use. It offers powerful capabilities with minimal learning effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Developers have tried to merge Simsolid and Optisctuct solvers into one UI. Features for both solvers are littered everywhere. No thought is given to informing users which features correspond to which solver. The user experiance is bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Transferring files over from different CAD environments to inspire for analysis is a breeze. Setting up a simulation is quite intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not the biggest fan of the UI. The multi-function buttons are difficult to get used to. When doing implicit modelling I do not like the low quality of the output STL files. This has been quite a headache, as in some cases I have had to resort to manual modelling in a different environment altogether to get a high quality STL for additive manufacturing.

Easy to use, user friendly interface and high performance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For some commands is not easy to understand the correct procedure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a revolutionary way to stress analyze your design part without requiring complicated pre-processing and model preparation. The design iteration process is much quicker due to the in-built CAD compared to traditional FEA software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some features that are only available on simsolid (non-linear analysis) that I wish Inspire had. More online resources to guide through trouble shooting or community-based forums would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

geometry editing is excellent, and model simplification for FEA purposes - is brilliant, GUI is quite intuitive -> like process guiding, beneficial help "on demand" visible at each option you use, implementation of Optistruct and Simsolid solver - fantastic, contact settings up - very fast and exact Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Higher Altair's license points to run since the latest versions, the software is not suitable for the big model in my opinion since the graphic is very demanding and a way of modeling (mainly 3D tetras), switching from Simsolid solver to Optistruct requires contacts redefinitions, sometimes, despite how good this function is, model defeaturing is not working but probably because of too complex geometry so no miracles are expected.

The simplicity and the interface. It has an organization of functions based on a work workflow. This greatly simplifies the usability of the software. With several tools that can evaluate the performance of the part or the productive means of this part. Giving a starting point in making a decision whether or not to proceed with the project or simply, you can now make some modifications and optimizations all within a single software.

Altair is a large company that has good software on the global market. What is missing for Altair to expand the market further is the development of CAD software to compete with NX Siemens, Catia and Creo. If Altair manages to introduce CAD software to the market with all the tools from inspire and also from SimSolid, it would be the most complete software that would allow users and industries to have access to a series of tools for developing a product or process. Altar would rise to the next level, making large industries such as automakers acquire this complete solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about Altair Inspire is the simple and commonly used interface between Inspire products. This makes transition fast and easy for both the beginners and experts. Installing their products with the ConnectMe app is a breeze. I have used the casting and molding on occasion and plan to continue to take advantage of Inspire's offerings. I think it is a great bridge between the coarse, non-expert analysis tools out there such as Ansys Live Simulation and full-on detailed simulation tools like Hyperworks desktop and Optistruct/Radioss. I judge these tools as the most able to democratize simulation to the masses with fewer issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not run across any issues based on my occasional usage, however I believe there are times when the ability to control fine details of complex models requires an expert tool like hyperworks desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
