  ### 1. MSC Apex Review

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lokesh K. | Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 16, 2021

**What do you like best about MSC Apex?**

I like the way it solves my model. It solves very quickly and with most solutions converging within less time. Both linear and Non-linear analysis can be done using MSC Apex

**What do you dislike about MSC Apex?**

This software is a little bit costly and very hard to debug the error, so it takes a lot of time to debug the error.
Non-linear analysis is a little complicated as it follows different numerical solving methodology

**What problems is MSC Apex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I solved problems in automotive as well as aerospace. I less benefitted using this product as it slightly expensive and for beginners it very difficult to handle
