"Simulation in solidworks"
4/5
What do you like best about SolidWorks Simulation?

The Solidworks stimulation helps in all types of stimulations, including topology optimization, computational fluid dynamics, electromagnetic, thermal, airflow in a single platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks Simulation?

In Solidworks, stimulation needs to give more concentration of topology optimization for anisotropic material and the dynamic simulation of the lattice structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The most direct solution"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SolidWorks Simulation?

SOLIDWORKS simulation easily integrates into your design projects as a plugin to SOLIDWORKS. It allows you to easily run FEA (stress test, strain test, torsion, etc,) on your parts while drafting them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks Simulation?

It does not come free with SOLIDWORKS basic or professional license. It is an important tool for CAD and users would benefit from access with all licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional UI and a very friendly Interface"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SolidWorks Simulation?

The way things can be modeled and Simulated. Very user friendliness, navigation across tabs is very easy and also it's very easy to options under multiple tabs unlike other apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks Simulation?

I have used this software for almost more than a year. And I haven't found much to my dislike. Nothing much to complain about. All I found is it's usefullness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
