"Working with ANSYS Workbench: Transient thermal"

5/5

What do you like best about Ansys VistaTF?

The FEM solver is robust. The best part about workbench is that you can customize your simulation by writing scripts/commands in MAPDL. I have extensively used this feature for my research project. The meshing is also strong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys VistaTF?

I use the transient thermal solver. It is difficult to define material properties which are a function of multiple independent variables and not just temperatures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys VistaTF:

There is good documentation of their algorithm which helps you understand the complete working of the solver and your resutls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys VistaTF solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am doing my doctoral research using the ANSYS solver. The GUI is very user friendly and they have strong convergence algorithm which is very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
