Very few simulation modules available.

Waiting for future updates for new simulation modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use as an engineering student still in the process of learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It could be a bit clearer on what’s necessary before running a simulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fast learning curve. Intuitive interface allows even a novice user, with the right background, to effectively run a straightforward analysis, by generating a mesh and applying loads and constraints quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately, this list is a very long. In my opinion the software is underdeveloped in many ways. I would rate it "fair" or "mediocre" when using it as a tool for basic analysis only (not more than a few parts, mostly linear analysis with maybe a bit of semi-linear contacts and some geometric nonlinearity). It gets worse if you, or someone in your organisation, actually believed the marketing and expects the software to be suitable for analyses featuring the advertised capabilities. Much worse. You may be able to analyse a shell, to use cyclic symmetry, or to consider geometric nonlinearity. But don't expect to combine any of those features in one analysis. If you're attempting plasticity or hyperelasticity, you should hire a priest to pray for the solver to converge. Don't expect the solver to run on more than one CPU core. If you plan to postprocess a larger problem, cancel your other appointments for the day. Don't contact customer support, it's a waste of time. And if you ever find yourself analysing composites with this software, please don't despair: life is too precious to lose and there is better software out there!

I really appreciate how user-friendly it is. It's so easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features are still a bit confusing, but overall it's good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gives us the ability to test out different components and assemblies in Solidworks to see if they will perform as intended and have the ability to last for many cycles of operation. Easy to use. Customer support has been very helpful with all feedback we needed. We use it on a daily basis with every new design we make or any changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found anything unhelpful at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to use and understand even for the beginner and has a good interpretation of results. Solidworks does the meshing and contact setting work automatically in most of the cases that's really good thing for a beginner. It has great tools to perform all kind of simulation either it's a static dynamic thermal or flow problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In Solidworks simulation user doesn't has the control over meshing so it's not really good for the professionals and also the for the flow problem's it doesn't have all the turbulence models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's simplicity and integration directly in Solidworks it a huge plus. Other FEA have a complicated setup and rather complex solver settings. SW Simulation reduces the time to get an design product in CAD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solidworks Simulation is not optimised for solving speed, but rather for simplicity and less time initialising the simulation setup. Also, you have little flexibility with solver settings and the solvers are not the most accurate variants. Boundary conditions are also limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Integrated with Solidworks CAD

- Easy to set up a study

- Many types of studies (not only stiffness/strength) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Expensive for small companies

- Harder to check for convergence/accuracy than other FE packages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solid Work simulation helps to reduce the effort of modification of the model in Solid Works to get simulation as both are the same platform, so there is no need for file conversions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As extra price needed to take the Solidwork Simulation and as we are mainly using Ansysy for Simulation it is not know to many as the training modules for this is not available need to give free training along with software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is somewhat easier than other analysis software. It is quite easy as there is no need for file formats. After modeling, we can directly access the analysis. More efficiently than other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The results were different from the analysis of other software. Meshing and element types are different compared to other analyses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
