Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/18/2016 "I've played around with this a bit for my own needs" 4/5 What do you like best about SIMULIA? The particle flow simulation is fantastic and very easy to set up. Also running tests to find proper volumes is very helpful and also eliminates a lot of manual testing time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SIMULIA? Tests ran a little slow, and the animations were not very long before you'd have to restart them. Also the choices for particulates are very specific, but lack ordinary objects like house hold dust and hair, which would be useful for designing vacuum cleaners. And finally the input for some of the flow simulations were not in the units given by manufacturers so I had to do some of the calculations by hand, which was rather tedious. Volume analysis doesn't work on negative spaces, so spaces must be filled before hand, or made in a different file before being cut from the model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering SIMULIA: Very helpful when you have a lot of options and not a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SIMULIA solving and how is that benefiting you? Being able to easily find the best size for a specific volume and using those in a model instead of guessing and hoping after the fact that you were close enough.

Biomechanical Lab Technician / EPDM Administrator Medical Devices Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/12/2016 "Useful tool for predicting testing performance" 3.5/5 What do you like best about SIMULIA? SolidWorks Simulation is a very useful tool for predicting the performance of spinal implants in different test setups. Static tests are pretty simple to set up and should give you meaningful results. We generally perform an FEA early in the design process to verify the product that is begin designed is safe enough to persue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SIMULIA? While FEA does provide useful information, it is not a substitute for physical testing. Dynamic testing testing is also a little more difficult to set up and requires a powerful PC and lots of run time. Only people familiar with 3D Cad software such as SolidWorks should give this a shot as there is a big learning curve required for this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering SIMULIA: If you just need to gather basic stresses of solid materials then this should do the trick. If you need more detailed information or need to run a dynamic test on a model you may want to look elsewhere or consider sending your FEAs to colleges and/or universities which may offer much more detailed reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SIMULIA solving and how is that benefiting you? Solidworks simulation provides us with a tool to evaluate how a certain product may do in physical testing. Occasionally an FEA performed with SolidWorks Simulation was adequate enough to submit a new product to the FDA. We have had several instances where an FEA was performed and it was determined that we could not move ahead with physical testing. The amount of time and money this saves us is quite significant.

PN paul n. mechanical designer Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/21/2016 "Very useful simulation" 4/5 What do you like best about SIMULIA? The ease of set up. I can set up a static simulation and within a few minutes know the safety factor for a part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SIMULIA? There could be some better tools to show what is causing meshes to fail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SIMULIA solving and how is that benefiting you? We use this to validate that our components will not deflect to much or that we have components that can withstand stress.

The best part according to me is the fact that you can directly analyze your design without exporting the files and import them in another FEA software. The software is easy to use for easy to medium-difficult test cases, especially for static analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SIMULIA? The software is good for basic and early design analysis. When it comes to detailed FEA like dynamic analysis, the software gets pretty difficult to use and setup. I normally switch to other FEA specific software for such detailed studies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering SIMULIA: Good for basic test cases, difficult for dynamic analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SIMULIA solving and how is that benefiting you? Structural analysis for consumer products. Beneficial when doing the basic static analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I ever used other simulation program so in my opinion is diffult say something wrong Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
