Coming from ICEM-CFD, Meshing allowed to improve productivity significantly. It gives the possibility to automate processes within Workbench and allows parametrization and the possibility to access to other interesting meshing methods (sweeping). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool is mostly a new front-end, while keeping many limitations of ICEM-CFD (very poor parallelization). In addition many warnings/errors are not clear and the tool was never updated to fix some bugs. For example, when you set an inflation on a named selection, if you change geometry the inflation will not work and you'll have to switch to geometry selection and back again to named selection. Another strong limitation is that you can apply a face sizing only on a geometry selection and a single named selection, not on multiple named selections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ANSYS Meshing is a great tool for a wide variety of applications. Whether the mesh is structured, unstructured, or a combination of both, the software offers great flexibility and is able to generate high-quality grids with little input from the user.

The user interface is well designed and gets updated with every product release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that comes to mind is the limited options to size elements along lines. For now, only Bias Factor and Growth Ratio are available. It would be extremely helpful if more functions are added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automesher option does not be effective for problems with complex geometry Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mesh generation is easy and intelligent for both 2D/3D and highly accurate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If mesging is not done correctly the design validation will be a nightmare.system requirements are bit needy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks to its ability to make fast meshes, it shortens project times in complex geometries.

During the meshing process, all parts can be controlled at the same time. Quality controls can be made to ensure the appropriate mesh criteria for the solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Updating the geometry disappears meshes from other independent parts. It is necessary to start over again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ANSYS meshing is integrated into ANSYS Workbench, ANSYS APDL, and ANSYS Mechanical designer. It offers different meshing types and allows users to choose specific meshing size. Customizing meshing size and type is always helpful in engineering simulation. Meshing is also needed to be complete before getting into analyzing the deflection and stress level of a product/structure. ANSYS meshing chooses the most appropriate options based on the analysis type and the geometry of the model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes if the mesh size is very small and the meshing computational time would be loooong. And if you want to stop meshing at that moment, the only thing you can do is kill the meshing server from the Task Manager, which can affect other processes in ANSYS too.

The automated mesh make the meshing faster, if we need to solve something faster with minimal accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not many options like ICEM meshing Software. I like all icem options with ansys meshing interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The results are very accurate .The software 2019 version is user friendly as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like everything except the fact that modeling is not good and we have import models from other softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
