Ansys Mechanical Reviews & Product Details

The best thing about ANSYS Mechanical is the level of control it gives the user over the model. It makes solving convergence issues easier, even when dealing with all three types of non-linearities—material, geometric, and contact. Multiphysics simulations are also straightforward to perform. With the help of ANSYS ACT, I’m able to customize the workflow to fit specific needs. Additionally, ANSYS offers excellent customer support and comprehensive technical documentation, which adds great value to the overall user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To accurately visualize the deformation of the structure during a prestressed mode superposition harmonic analysis, we currently need to use ANSYS APDL. It would be highly beneficial if this capability were also available directly within ANSYS Workbench. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ANSYS Mechanical is a user-friendly interface when compared to the other CAE tools. It has Pre-Processing, Solving and Post Processing all in One. That's really a big advantage to make ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I cannot control the mesh much in ANSYS Mechanical in detail when compared to the other CAE-Pre Processing Tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A real time problem is solved using the simulation tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Meshing is a part of Ansys and it must be more effective Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use it on a Daily basis for our structure simulations. Its very easy to setup a loading condition and get results. The workflow is very smooth. In built-CAD integration through space claim makes it easy to make design changes and re-run.

Customer support is quick and minor problems are solved within a day only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple feature of making your modal animation looping on endlessly in gif format is missing for so many years. It makes using the gif in presentations difficult to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm using ANSYS mechanical package in many applications because of its very professional tools including automation ( paprametric study ) ones which saves lots of time and help me find the best design point.

Also topology study and generative design are great tool for 3D printing applications ,in my oppenion it is incomparable to any other software.

It helped me perform professional simulations as well including multibody dynamics and fluid structure interaction in parallel with ansys fluent.

Adding to this you can easily add new material data properties and flexibily define any type of load.

Also the customer support forum have many experts so you can easily find a solution to your problem or directly contact them.

Further more i didn't face any problem during installation, I really like the user interface as it is well organised to easy define a simulation and get results.

I usually integrate with other 3D design softwares like Solidworks, design modular, claimspace to import and export files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It consumes lots of computer ram, and sometimes the program run into a problem befor saving the project and in a matter of a second I loss my work، also the subscribtion fees may be modified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Highly user friendly interface, very easy to simulate the analysis and implementation is also very easy. I frequently use this software for validating my designs and accuracy of the software is also very precise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is providing complete package from design to simulation. But sometimes simulation time is quite more so the software crashes in between the testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very user friendly CAE tool.. I can focus more on the analysis rather than the tool itself. It can be used for a wide range of FEA analysis from Linear Static structural to Non Linear Dynamic analysis, Thermal analysis and CFD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) There is no Anti Aliasing option available within the tool...This makes the models look too bad.

2) I cannot rotate the model with selected pivot point unlike NX CAD or CATIA. This makes it hard to work with large models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Robustness, For non-linear problems especially with transient contact analysis, Ansys Mechanical needs minimum solver changes to detect moving contacting surfaces.

Ability to couple Ansys mechanical with other products such as Fluent, LS Dyna etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although it has capability to couple Ansys mechanical with it's other productc but the procedure is bit lengthy and becomes further confusing to update variables or boundary conditions or initial conditions when any changes are made to either of the physics.

I found modeling of composite laminates is tedious with Ansys mechanical as well as computationally expensive. Since composite laminates can have hundreds of thin layers with different materials thus modeling itself is very tedious with and further each layer needs to solve for all degrees of freedom hence require very fine mesh making Ansys Mechanical further computationally expensive too.

The Ansys mechanical is very usefull application to analyse the load like stress on joins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Software is heavy it's support only high specified machines not able to use in normal laptop having lesss ram Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
