2. Users draw units from the pool to access multiple products, across any location  
3. Units return to the pool after use and become available to all users

What do you like best about Altair SimSolid?

clear GUI, simple and understandable workflow, space for improvements in the future Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair SimSolid?

The pricing and the splitting of the licensing were done some time ago. Also, not all “features” are described in the “help,” as they are limitations of the applied technology. It is not possible to edit geometry, not even to move parts. Post-processing cannot be automated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Altair SimSolid solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me make quick decisions at the very early stage of a project, when it’s crucial to head in the right direction from the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Altair SimSolid?

I find the "auto weld creator" in Altair SimSolid amazing, where the weld length can also be determined. It provides insight into the amount of welding in complex and large structures, which is useful for cost estimations. Additionally, the initial setup is very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair SimSolid?

I find the post-processing really very laborious. I often have to adjust the legend and cannot compare two models side by side. I also find it difficult to combine SimSolid with other programs. It feels more like a 'quick and dirty' solution, while I use other solvers for more accurate or repetitive work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Altair SimSolid solving and how is that benefiting you?

I find Altair SimSolid very fast for making an initial calculation of complex structures and weld assemblies. The auto weld function provides insight into the amount of welding, which helps in making cost estimates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
