I like the linked parameter approach in Simcenter Amesim where every component, like a hydraulic valve, is represented in a mathematical equation, allowing me to compute the overall system behavior. It's really helpful in constructing a functional block diagram of an entire machine using its pre-validated components. Siemens did a great job in building its libraries, making it easier to drag and drop from physical libraries. Additionally, the initial setup was easy for me.

I find that Simcenter Amesim can't capture fine localized physical boundaries like complex vortex swirl patterns inside a cylinder. I think it would be better if it had a self-image processing system to capture these boundaries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I still really appreciate the intuitive interface and how quickly even complex system models can be built. The recent improvements in model management are particularly useful, especially the possibility to manage different model variants through parameter sets without creating multiple separate models. Overall, Amesim remains very easy to approach, while offering increasingly powerful tools for more complex engineering studies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Error diagnostics could still be improved. When a complex model fails to initialize or encounters a numerical or configuration issue, the error message does not always make it immediately clear which component or parameter is responsible. More contextual diagnostics, with possible causes and suggested corrective actions, would make troubleshooting much faster, especially for less experienced users.

I like that Simcenter Amesim allows engineers to simulate and size the system baseline architecture in the initial stages. Plus, it's handy since it doesn't require CAD for solving 1D math equations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The complexity of Simcenter Amesim's interface is a bit overwhelming, especially for beginners, as there are too many options. This makes the learning curve steeper than I would like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Simcenter Amesim models are fast to build, which gives me more time to analyze system dynamics instead of spending a lot of time building models from first principles. Its intuitive interface and vast libraries are very helpful. The detailed documentation serves as a knowledge repository for physical components. I find the graphing plots very well organized. It's great that there's seamless connectivity to MATLAB/Simulink, which makes work processes like MIL, SIL, and HIL a breeze. The solving times are fast, and it's easy to export models as FMUs.

The signal routing feature using dynamic transmitters can be improved, especially the tagging feature. Currently, I have to manually tag transmitters and receivers, which should be more automated. The creation of super components could also be made more intuitive to edit, as it's tedious right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The vast library of pre-defined components allows us to model complex multi-domain systems (hydraulic, thermal, mechanical) very quickly. However, the standout feature for us is the co-simulation capability with STAR-CCM+. Being able to couple 1D system simulation with high-fidelity 3D CFD allows us to get the best of both worlds: the speed of system simulation and the accuracy of CFD for critical components!

Due to the immense number of libraries and specialized verticals, the learning curve can be steep for new engineers trying to navigate all available options. Also, keeping track of all the license features for specific modules sometimes requires careful management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simcenter Amesim has been a valuable tool in our work, enabling efficient system-level modeling and simulation of complex mechatronic and fluid power systems. It helps us validate designs early, reduce dependency on physical testing, and gain deeper insights into system behavior. With its robust libraries and intuitive interface, Amesim significantly improves development efficiency, design accuracy, and overall product performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Simcenter Amesim for its number of functionalities with built-in libraries. The general workflow also works well for me. I switched to Simcenter Amesim from OpenModelica for its faster deployment of simulations, and I found the initial setup to be quite straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very buggy, I feel like a beta tester sometimes. It can get quite slow with big datasets. The license server is unreliable - we lost countless hours of productivity. Documentation is quite weak. No generative options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
