"Product development companies are using Altair Optistruct to optimize weight of Product."
5/5
What do you like best about Altair OptiStruct?

Easy to use tools to do compare during the iteration of part with the optimization of material, reduce the overall cost of Product without losing the strength of Product structure required. also, reduce development time &cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair OptiStruct?

No downside.

Small & Medium companies are unable to take advantage of this tool due to cost factors also lacking for Skill manpower to use the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MY review On Optistruct"
4/5
What do you like best about Altair OptiStruct?

OptiStruct is the first commercial code in implementing Topology optimization technology. It is the best available solver for design optimization and weight savings. I myself used it as solver and topology optimizer and shows good results with lesser computation time compared to other commercial software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair OptiStruct?

Could bring in more user friendly GUI and in built Visualizer for solver errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
