"One integrated solution for Product development"

4/5

What do you like best about Simcenter HEEDS?

The automation of workflows that simulate designs, Integration of Cost estimattion tools is an added bonus indeed. The AI assistance helps to wa Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Simcenter HEEDS?

It would be really great if support is provided over a phone call for technical snags. Its the best and fastest way to resolve things Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Simcenter HEEDS solving and how is that benefiting you?

The integration od CAD and CAE is the best thing I have ever seen, and the automated workflows is an additional gift and out of the box thought. The Integration between the design team and the simulation teams have always been a painstaking task. Bringing those two teams together is one challenge. But thanks to Heeds this has been solved effectively. It expediated the product development lead time. Distributed execution is one thing I loved in Heeds through multiple prallelization the lead time has come down considerably Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5

What do you like best about Simcenter HEEDS?

One of the best thing is provide both things CAD and CAE in same software like solidworks, with better UI and one of the best user manual and for simulation much better than solidworks and no words for automation uses its amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Simcenter HEEDS?

Max time i faces a problem that less resourses (like video tutorial) and less uses in industry mainly in india so as customers increases all things go good as comparison like Solidworks, ansys, Autodesk etc and also can improve customer support.

also also takes some time or lag tha i face and customization of tools can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using HEEDS for optimizing process simulations"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Simcenter HEEDS?

HEEDS is relatively easy to set up and saves a lot of time by automating the optimization process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Simcenter HEEDS?

Multiple HEEDS studies varying the responses needs to be created in order for HEEDS to find multiple solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Simcenter HEEDS solving and how is that benefiting you?

HEEDS is optimzing my process simulations by varying different process variables in order to meet certain target specifications. By having HEEDS do the optimization for me, it saves time and due to HEEDS SHERPA method, HEEDS can make more educated guesses for varying the process variables.

"Great Professional Support, Service, and Follow Up."

4/5

What do you like best about Simcenter HEEDS?

The user-friendly portal is intuitive and easy for my employees to navigate. The speed and quality of support is excellent. The features and functionality of the platform are excellent and improving all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Simcenter HEEDS?

The only thing I do not like about Electric is when one of my staff wants to get immediate support over the phone.

Some of my staff are comfortable getting support directly through Slack, but others prefer the traditional way of talking to someone live right away when/if there is an issue.

My recommendation for others considering Electric would be to consider whether your culture is willing/able to integrate Slack/MS Teams as your main form of support engagement.

If your team is comfortable and/or actively using Slack/MS Teams, then there shouldn't be a problem with adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
