"Analyzes Complex CAD Assemblies in Minutes with Real-World Robustness"

5/5

What do you like best about Altair SimSolid?

It lets me analyze large assemblies and complex CAD models in seconds or minutes rather than hours. The software also handles real-world CAD conditions—like small gaps, overlaps, and rough contact surfaces—smoothly, without requiring manual cleanup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair SimSolid?

High price: Many users report that the software is very expensive, and that the cost doesn’t always feel justified given its particular capabilities and limitations.

License management: Managing licenses and sharing them for team collaboration can be frustrating, time-consuming, and unnecessarily complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Altair SimSolid solving and how is that benefiting you?

Design Bottlenecks: It helps resolve the slow iteration loops that happen when a designer changes a dimension and then has to rebuild the mesh from scratch.

Complex Assemblies: It can handle large assemblies with complex connections—such as bolts, welds, and contact gaps—directly from CAD data, without running into performance crashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
