"Best FEA Software Available"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

Ansys is the most accurate software available to engineers who need to conduct finite element analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

Aside from FEA, Ansys doesn't really provide much benefit to it's users. Most other tasks are accomplished with software like Solidworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful program for mechanical design"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

ANSYS is a professional program for the calculation of mechanical components and structures. The program allows you to make component designs or import them from another CAD program.

With the design of the components or the structure, you can define the material or materials that will form the component, the forces that will act on the component and the rest of the parameters necessary for the calculation.

In addition, it allows you to perform different calculation modes, depending on what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

The program needs to improve the design section. It is easy to draw simple pieces, but the work is complicated when we try to design complex structures.

Also, many times when you try to import complex parts from another CAD program, they do not appear correctly and you need to redesign some parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Mechanical:

I would recommend this program to other users, since it allows you to carry out virtual tests on products that are still in development stages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys Mechanical solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the electronic design it is necessary to check the durability of the components and the base plates, depending on the conditions in which the final product will be found.

In addition, it is important to check how the final product would be, depending on what materials form it, before manufacturing the product.

On the other hand, in our company we can anticipate the possible failures that may occur in the future products, without the need to manufacture a product and rehearse it.

The program makes our work easier and allows us to save a large amount of money and time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A commercial standard to engineering simulation"

3/5

What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

The ease of using the software is unmatched by any other engineering simulation tool. The tightly integrated multi-physics solver offers capability to transfer solutions between physics modules. The geometry offers just enough capability to edit the geometry while iterating between designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

The solver times are large compared to alternatives such as solidWorks. Further, the integrated geometry design tool is limited in functionality. The tool can be extended to take into account man recent advances in the industry. Using User Defined Functions (UDF's) can be difficult to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Mechanical:

If developing in house code might prove difficult and if standardization is key in the company, then Ansys might be the right software for your engineering solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys Mechanical solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mechanical thermal simulations for designing heat exchangers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome simulation software "

4.5/5

What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

Awesome simulation software for stress measurement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

Problems with units sometimes...

So we have to carefully put all the units for getting correct answer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gets the job done"

5/5

What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

While most other analysis software requires a tonne of ram ansys can make do with the minimum you can offer. It runs smoothly, accurately and glitches free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

While the workbench is quite user-friendly, the other APDLs like mechanical etc could use more graphics enhancements and make them more user-friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My experience with ANSYS Mechanical has been wonderful."

5/5

What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

ANSYS mechanical gives the user a lot of control over how to simulate a problem. It enables the user to select the exact element type and the kind of meshing that the user wants to work with. The biggest advantage is the APDL programming which a person can use to suit his or her simulation requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

The interface of ANSYS Mechanical is too primitive and a user can have difficulty in visualizing a problem with a complex geometry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Greater CAE package for self-starters"

5/5

What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

The ease of use. The UI is simple and very user-friendly. Also the automesh gives decent results and saves the effort of manual meshing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

Manual meshing is very difficult for complex modelling like for example in composite analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy way to run simulations"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

It's straightforward on how to create 3D models and then set up simulations on them. There are plenty of different simulations that you can run, too. It's very powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

It can take really long to run simulations and can crash sometimes. The student version is also very lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Mechanical:

I prefer it over Solidworks actually. It's easy to use and very powerful. It can run many different types of simulations in the same file as well: mechanical, fluid, electrical, thermal, etc etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys Mechanical solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Ansys to run simulations on current projects I am working on. It has helped us in determining when our product will work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
