I can say this is the first of its kind which helps in early phase to answer on all design processes. As it has very easy interface to try on. The best tool even for who is currently studying or working professional both. I like best of on all features on this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ansys Discovery? The worst part only in this product I can part it out is bit on pricing features. Bu one can try asking the support team for pricing too. Or one of the other demerits but can be better is limited customisation. We can try for betterment of our use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ansys Discovery solving and how is that benefiting you? The best part which helped me in is Simulation where I would have done better, it combined various different simulation together. Also its interactive geometry has helped me a lot for modelling on User experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deputy Manager (M3-b) - CFD Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/20/2023 "Quick work around to design a near to optimal system" 4/5 What do you like best about Ansys Discovery? It offers a quick and easy way to see how the design will behave by giving a quick and robust solution. It might not be accurate but very close to accuracy. It reduces the product design time significantly. Designer can arrive at a much more optimal design with much less CAE iterations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ansys Discovery? I understand that accuracy is compromised when speed is needed but still the user friendliness can be worked upon. Creation of CAD and imposing boundary conditions can be improved. Few more types of boundary conditions can be added except simple flow and thermal cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ansys Discovery solving and how is that benefiting you? It significantly reduces the product design time hence reducing the overall time from drawing to manufacturing.

BP Bhrigu Bharadwaj P. Senior Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 11/7/2023 "Idea for quick and instant simulations" 5/5 What do you like best about Ansys Discovery? The ability to allow modeling and editing on the fly and the ability to instantly simulate results and observe their effects is what makes Discovery stand apart. Very intuitive and easy to use, regardless of the type of simulation you wanna do. Decent speed and accuracy. Good customer support and learning resources are available on the ALH (Ansys Learning Hub) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ansys Discovery? Obviously the accuracy and precision are not at par with ANSYS, but that's what you're also compromising for with the software. Slightly slower if you've an old GPU or if it's not powerful enough. It should also allow exporting in other file formats, rather than just discovery Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ansys Discovery solving and how is that benefiting you? Quick and not so complex simulations on the fly, while simultaneously editing geometries and observing the effects of those changes in real time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SaaS Support Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 12/20/2023 "Customizable and Futuristic" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Ansys Discovery? Ansys Discovery has one of the best real time stimulation to work with design. In manufacturing, this plays a huge role in designing and making the products more fitted for the area and needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ansys Discovery? Since Ansys is still fairly new in its niche, the integration requires some time for learning and then implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ansys Discovery solving and how is that benefiting you? For us some of the geographical constraints posed a different set of problems in terms of designing, now with Ansys, you can actually have a stimulation that gives you a real time structural layout to design further.
