- Reviewers mention that Onshape's ease of setup is impressive, scoring 9.5, which simplifies the onboarding process for new users. Conversely, Ansys Motor-CAD lacks this level of user-friendliness, as it does not have a specified score for ease of setup, indicating potential challenges in getting started.
- G2 users highlight Onshape's strong version control features, scoring 9.2, which is crucial for teams working on collaborative projects. In comparison, Ansys Motor-CAD's version control is not as robust, with a lower score of 8.6, which may lead to difficulties in managing project iterations effectively.
- Reviewers say that Onshape's drawing tools are rated at 8.5, providing adequate functionality for creating detailed designs. However, Ansys Motor-CAD's drawing tools score slightly higher at 8.9, indicating that it may offer more advanced features for users focused on detailed schematic work.
- Users on G2 report that Ansys Motor-CAD shines in simulation capabilities, particularly in fluid analysis and finite element analysis, with scores of 9.0 and 8.9 respectively. On the other hand, Onshape's simulation features are less comprehensive, with lower scores in these areas, making Ansys a better choice for users prioritizing advanced simulation tools.
- Reviewers mention that Onshape's collaboration features, such as document management and supplier alignment, score well at 8.3 and 8.2 respectively, facilitating teamwork. In contrast, Ansys Motor-CAD's collaboration tools are less emphasized, which may hinder effective communication among team members during the design process.
