Best user interface, and mindblowing simulation experience. Meshing and post-processing is done very precisely and it is personalized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The time required is very high for analysis. Process errors are present. CAD errors detection is very difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ANSYS is my favorite software for analyzing mechanical structures with any type of cross-section for the links. We can have as intricate mesh as we want to get the perfect results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ansys is a software with a lot of features and newbies can feel a little overwhelmed with it. It could get boring if we lose track of our analysis stage and have to start all over again. It also demands a good processor otherwise, it gets stuck and does not complete the ongoing task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its advanced results visualization capability helps users understand the results more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Requires a lot of processing power (RAM, GPU) to run efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ansys is used to simulate and analyze the behavior of structural and mechanical systems under various loading conditions. ANSYS Mechanical can help students learn about the principles of FEA and how it can be used to predict the behavior of real-world systems. As a student, the UI and all the functions are easy to navigate and operate. It can give analysis of any model within few minutes. It has alot of functions that are very useful for analysis of materials. The death and birth element feature is the best as it can replicate additive manufacturing processes.

The only drawback of ansys is, it requires a lot of computing power and it is necessary to have high-end computers to analyse or to perform simulation. And also ansys have very limited undo option and if you make some mistakes, you have to start all over again Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ANSYS Mechanical is an easy-to-use and efficient software, especially for students. I was introduced to ANSYS in the 2nd year of my engineering degree. At first, it felt a bit hard but straightforward when I started to practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing that I disliked at first about ANSYS Mechanical was the Interface. But then, when I got familiar, it was not that bad of an interface. And one more thing that I feel is that ANSYS should be giving some suggestions while entering the values and suggestions about the possible next steps to improve the user experience. This option should be optional because not everyone needs this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has every tool for Analysis of almost all types of material Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Should have more function and ability to design complex products in ansys itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The CAD interface is excellent, and meshing is accurate and fast. The geometry selection for load application and boundary conditions is easy to select. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Geometry editing for complex Brick Hex meshing is bit complicated but can be managed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can code in Ansys Programming Design Language, APDL, and it is not so difficult. In academia, mostly it has been used, so it gives very reliable results. İt can solve complicated contact problems that other FEA programs may struggle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Importing geometry data in step or iges formatı had problems in the Ansys 18.1. Sometimes, an assembly of a few parts cannot be imported as is in Solidworks. Drawing or modifying a geometry is way difficult so complicated geometries such as assemblies should be imported properly and could be modified more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very robust in handling problems related to Structural Analysis and provides solution which can be easily reconstructed for a similar problem Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ANSYS Mechanical is not that robust in handling complex problems which needs more manual interference at multiple local places Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ANSYS Mechanical is a perfect simulation tool where your experience APDL coding, Workbench, Solvers, ACTs and many more. It has a solid technical database, material library, help and user manuals, and guides. For me, it is a complete package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are very few things where you have your dislikes but majorly I can write - Design modular where CAD features are not as strong as 3D CAD commercial software, it doesn't have mathematical expression builder like other software has and somewhere import and export data issues.
