"Facilitate Quick and Accurate Analysis"
4/5
What do you like best about Altair SimSolid?

I like the ease of use of Altair SimSolid and how easy it is to replicate analyses on other structures. The speed with which it facilitates the flow between outlining and calculation when working with 3D elements is very useful. It is a very easy program to use from the start.

What do you dislike about Altair SimSolid?

The ability to open Altair SimSolid files in read-only mode is missed, as sometimes you just need to consult a project to obtain images for documentation or to attach in an email, without the need to perform additional calculations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sarthak Kumar of Altair SimSolid

Hello Alvaro, We're glad to hear that you find Simcenter SimSolid easy to use and that it facilitates the flow between outlining and calculation for 3D elements. We appreciate your feedback and will take your suggestion about opening files in read-only mode into consideration for future updates.
