## Ansys SPEOS Reviews
  ### 1. Standard software in automotive interior & exterior illumination

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Luca C. | R&D, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 13, 2023

**What do you like best about Ansys SPEOS?**

I like the amount of analysis types that the system is able to return.
Interoperability with various CAD systems.
Libraries of textures and materials already characterized.
However, it remains the reference in the automotive environment as regards the CAE of lighting.

**What do you dislike about Ansys SPEOS?**

The limited availability of cores to which to entrust the calculation locally, by default, the SW uses 4 cores regardless of the HW performance, the performance increase is linked to the purchase of a license.
The entry level of the SW greatly limits the environmental analyzes which are linked to a medium, very expensive level of analysis.

**What problems is Ansys SPEOS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

By comparing the same project with two different SWs, the result returned was different and Ansys Speos faithfully reproduced the experimental analysis.
The integration with SpaceClaim was fundamental for the interoperability between SW and CAD.

  ### 2. Analysis

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Airlines/Aviation | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**What do you like best about Ansys SPEOS?**

User-friendly than any other software I used so far.

**What do you dislike about Ansys SPEOS?**

More Time taking and results take hours to show the output

**What problems is Ansys SPEOS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reduce recalls as it shows real time solution and Reduce risk of failure after production.

  ### 3. Lighting design software in-depth intuitive and realistic.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Karl O. | Illumination/Photometry Design Engineer Global, Automotive, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2018

**What do you like best about Ansys SPEOS?**

Immense capabilities provide users to symulate realistic results.

**What do you dislike about Ansys SPEOS?**

Some applications like file explorer may close unitentionally and need to be reopened to view progress or results.

**Recommendations to others considering Ansys SPEOS:**

Take into consideration the many tools within Speos to interagate and evaluate your design.

**What problems is Ansys SPEOS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Having the confidece in results, in challenging designs, makes prototyping almost unnessasary.
