CAE Engineer 1 Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/7/2024 "EKM the software you need" 4/5 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. 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.
