# Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager Reviews **Vendor:** Ansys, Inc. **Category:** [Other CAD Software](https://www.g2.com/categories/other-cad) **Average Rating:** 4.0/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 4 ## About Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager ANSYS Enterprise Knowledge Manager (EKM). ANSYS EKM is a web-enabled scalable system that enables your engineering team to manage and share simulation data, integrate heterogeneous simulation tools and create easy-to-follow workflows for your entire product development team, while providing the greatest level of data security to protect your company's intellectual property. ## Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager Reviews ### 1. EKM the software you need **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pritesh K. | CAE Engineer 1, Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2024 **What do you like best about Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager?** Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager (EKM) is the home to all the operations and data needed for all the tasks you perform within Ansys. Personally using it for CAE operations almost everyday helps me to manage all my simulations all at once at one single page very easily. The page customisation option as per the user needs might be my favourite feature out there with EKM. Things are very handy resulting in fast operations and avoiding multiple repetitive tasks with the data server at EKM. The scalability helps multiple users access my data and simultions from their respective devices helping me with feedbacks instantly and helping everyone to use data for their respective tasks. Ansys help also provides quick support if you get stuck at some point, their PDF files and vast number of tutorial or how to do videos work as a helping hand all the time. Altogether EKM has made my work process faster, easier, effortless for repetitive tasks and handy for all the operations. **What do you dislike about Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager?** The process required for page customisation is a little lengthy from my experience, you get bored from the repetitive tabs to handle there. Also if I have my simulation failed for some reason I would love to directly click on the error code which would lead me to Ansys help other than remembering or copying the code and searching for it manually. The intergrated applications within Ansys take long time sometimes to start if you wish to go from one application to another. **What problems is Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helps me/industry to save money from simulating my product before putting it into physical testing and production. Helps me with the status and work progress of all my simualtions which works very well than other softwares. ### 2. Simulation at your fingertips **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vishal J. | Project Manager, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 16, 2023 **What do you like best about Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager?** Best product testing software before creating the actual product. **What do you dislike about Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager?** At times model creation becomes challenging and requires good product knowledge. **What problems is Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps us test the product in physical parameters like stress, strain, heat, etc., which helps in better product creation before moving it to production. Saving lots of time, money and effort. ### 3. Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Yatish P. | CAE Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2022 **What do you like best about Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager?** Easy to use tool. It has good work-flow. **What do you dislike about Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager?** Few things like preparing model are complicated and need take some time to learn. **What problems is Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have used Ansys EKM to manage the simulations and their data. Sharing and managing the data has been easy with EKM. ### 4. Necessary **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 17, 2018 **What do you like best about Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager?** This simulation program is very useful for being able to perform simulations of the designed prototypes, both in the university and in research. Physical parameters can be set to see if the created structure withstands the forces or temperatures, or which part of the structure will experience the greatest stress/deformation. **What do you dislike about Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager?** Making the model itself is more complicated than other programs, like AutoCAD, and that makes you hesitate to use it, but its functions are not comparable to any of those. Editing a piece you have already created is more complicated than it seems. **Recommendations to others considering Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager:** Put some care into it and learn to use it. I assure you that it will be very useful once you master it. **What problems is Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** When I have to conduct simulations with new materials that replace the ones that currently exist, with different properties and shapes, this program has helped me to carry out these experiments. ## Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager Discussions - [What is Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-ansys-engineering-knowledge-manager-used-for) - [View Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/ansys-engineering-knowledge-manager/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-06-03+10%3A22%3A46+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=e2c25073-a706-4675-9f5e-030276b22a0e&secure%5Btoken%5D=9fd766565fb62961aeb2c4d7380f57a75d039d98b371e5db0eb5cae245e28555&format=llm_user) ## Top Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager Alternatives - [Simplify3D](https://www.g2.com/products/simplify3d/reviews) - 4.2/5.0 (41 reviews) - [PTC Mathcad Prime](https://www.g2.com/products/ptc-mathcad-prime/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (32 reviews) - [MeshLab](https://www.g2.com/products/meshlab/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (21 reviews)
