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.

I have used both ansys mechanical and fluent for structural and fluid flow analysis. It's a perfect software for structural analysis results are solved pretty fast in workstations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used both in ansys fluent and mechanical in Intel xeon workstation,eventhough it's a powerful workstation the solving of problems in fluent takes a good amount of time. I have seen problems solving very quickly in StarCCM+.We have to pay more to open more tabs in the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software supports multiphysics simulations by integrating structural analysis with other physics, such as heat transfer, fluid flow, and electromagnetic fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ANSYS Mechanical can be complex, especially for users who are new to finite element analysis (FEA) or have limited experience with simulation software. It requires a solid understanding of FEA principles, material modeling, and simulation techniques. The learning curve can be steep, and adequate training or expertise may be necessary to utilize the software effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ansys Mechanical is one of the industry's best finite element method (FEM) software (also sometimes refered to as Computer Aided Engineering (CAE).

The analysis / simulation done in Ansys and the actual results are very close, accurate and comparable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One has to do meshing in Ansys before running the FEA.

Training is very much required to use this software effectively.

Modeling using Computer Aided Design (CAD) capabilities are less and should be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
