"A very powerful FEA and CFD software."
5/5

Ansys supports both FEA and CFD computations and does so with a wide variety of file types. This is the most powerful software of its class. With the training, a designer/engineer can model everything under the sun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is time consuming to learn, but necessary to fully understand all the equations and functions. A trained user can solve their design problem without doubt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ANSYS - Leading Simulation Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Ansys CFX?

ANSYS acquired SpaceClaim back in 2014, this acquisition equipped ANSYS with a powerful geometry tool that the software never had before. Plus the already powerful FEA and CFD functionality, ANSYS might be the best simulation software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys CFX?

Sometimes it is hard to figure out how to change certain settings since it's hidden or not well explained in the user guide. I think more development work is needed in order to make the software easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
