"Ansys - Engineering design and simulation tool"
What do you like best about Ansys SpaceClaim?

Ansys uses certain amount input and evaluate the products behaviour in different conditions. It has capability of integrating various physics in to one platform and perform the analysis. In ansys software We can import all types of CAD files from other software. We can save our time and money in this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys SpaceClaim?

I find many difficulty in boundary conditions and also face problems in input data. There are some limitations in input data. And also we required high intial cost for ansys software. It is quite difficult to learn this software as compared to other design software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ansys - Design simulation software"
What do you like best about Ansys SpaceClaim?

It is used for check product's different properties such as durability, temperature difference, heat transfer and many others. Also used for create simulation of product. We can reduce the cost of producing product and save our time and money. We import all type of CAD file from different CAD software and converted into ansys features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys SpaceClaim?

I find difficulty in boundary conditions of this software and also biggest dislike thing in ansys software is that higher intial investment. Also some time this software don't give accurate simulation and face problem in input data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy 3D modifications"
What do you like best about Ansys SpaceClaim?

It's easy to use, compatible with all CAD formats, ideal for 3D STEP modification, sheetmetal unfolding of wrong geometry and for create something new. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys SpaceClaim?

Structures are not so easy to design (there are plugins that help), DXF/DWG export configuration can be improved (colors, layers). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sufficient CAD capability for CAE"
What do you like best about Ansys SpaceClaim?

The UI is very good and clean. The main functions are all still there like boss extrude and other solid modelling tools. Apart from that it is easy to access large assembly files due to large assembly mode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys SpaceClaim?

Other powerful tools like sheet metal design and assembly tools are not available in SpaceClaim compared to CAD packages like software like Solidworks.

Also, the sketching part can be made more simpler to use. There is no 3D sketching for 3D truss designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Spaceclaim - edit not create"
What do you like best about Ansys SpaceClaim?

The best thing about spaceclaim is the ease to edit a geometry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys SpaceClaim?

Spaceclaim does NOT have a tree to show the history of features used, making it VERY hard to undo undesired features or create geometries from zero. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ANSYS 17.0 Review "
What do you like best about Ansys SpaceClaim?

Great software package, full of useful tools. There are geometry creation and model tools which are then placed into a testing simulation environment. The software works well with other software interns of import and out-port. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys SpaceClaim?

It is heavily on the cost side and needs a lot of set up and learning time before using properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
