"Time-saving simulation approach with Altair SimSolid"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Altair SimSolid?

So, what I like most is the integration of Altair SimSolid, because it allows me to use it under a user interface that I already know. It is also relatively easy to teach other designers, as they only need to know one interface. I also like that it is not necessary to mesh. That is actually the main reason. The results, as far as I have seen, are usable. In most cases, we have had good experiences for a quick and rough assessment. It is also important to me that one can quickly and intuitively get into the interface. This has been well achieved with Altair SimSolid. Additionally, I like that I can switch between the OptiStruct interface and the solver to quickly check if it works the same way with a mesh-based solver as it does with Altair SimSolid.

What do you dislike about Altair SimSolid?

The biggest problem is identifying the differences between a network-based solver and a non-network-based solver. Especially in special cases, it can happen that Altair SimSolid provides results that do not meet expectations. It would be important to explain these differences and bring Altair SimSolid closer to the correct solution, even if this is a lengthy process. I have not seen concrete examples in my daily life, but there have been academic papers on the subject that were sent to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Theo fastest way to obtain satisfying FEA results"
5/5
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.

Response from Sarthak Kumar of Altair SimSolid

Hello Mariusz, We're glad to hear that Simcenter SimSolid is helping you make quick decisions at the early stage of your projects. We will take note of your feedback regarding pricing and licensing for future improvements.

"Fast, Meshless Structural Analysis That Speeds Up Complex CAD Assembly Evaluation"
5/5
What do you like best about Altair SimSolid?

The biggest advantage of SimSolid is that it can perform structural analysis without requiring traditional finite element meshing. This makes it much faster to set up and evaluate design concepts, especially when working with complex CAD assemblies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair SimSolid?

The results and available analysis controls can feel different compared with traditional FEA tools. Users accustomed to conventional mesh-based workflows may need some time to understand the SimSolid approach and its assumptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
