The 3D modelling is very easy in ANSYS HFSS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the software takes a very long time to simulate a model and sometimes for the same model it simulated early Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Accurate 3D RF and antenna modeling. Also importing structures using SIwave allows for a seamless transition from layout design to a modeling environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
HFSS can be somewhat confusing and complex to newcomers, however once the skill is learned, modeling becomes second-nature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing that I like about this software is the ease of use, setup and admin. It helps you in having better understanding about the concepts that you have learnt theoretically it provides you with the practical platform where you can make use of the concepts that you have learnt and can actually put them in use for manufacturing a product say like a microstrip patch antenna according to your preference and try designing the same with different dielectric materials.

The thing that I hate about this software is it almost took me 1-2 weeks time to get well versed with the software and to understanding different tricks and tips about this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
HFSS form Ansys is one of the best 3D EM simulators for high-frequency structures in the market from my point of view. The way you can model your own 3D structure and the flexibility you have is not in any other software. In addition, the simulation time can be dramatically reduced when you have great GPU or Multi-core machine and use the HPC feature of HFSS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When you have a pool license type, you can get some delays when initiating the analysis to fetch the right license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its user-friendly feature is one of the best features. You can draw what in your mind is and do your simulations. I bet it is the best software in terms of accuracy as I compared its results with measurements and they were perfectly matched. Students can take advantage of the student version from this link:https://www.ansys.com/academic/free-student-products
If you look at the publications in IEEE Transaction on Antenna and Propagation, you can find out that authors mostly use HFSS for their simulations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Probably defining the boundary conditions is a little complicated and needs experiences to set the correct one with correct dimensions. Its documentation is far behind the abilities of the software.

The fact that you can fesin and set up your system
The GUI is very user friendly
The setup is easy
Trouble shooting is easy as there are many redources out there
The tutorials are fantastic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it can get stuck during a simulation
The design is not as friendly as Solidworks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been working with HFSS for more than 8 years and I am very confident of the results it produces. it is a very powerful software that gives you capabilities to design various aspects of technologies including cell phone, wiring systems, chips, antennas. All other comparable software only provide results wit no feedback or reliability, however Ansys HFSS delivers reliable results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it gets stuck with no option for debugging. Also the solid models Ansys HFSS produces (such as .step file, etc) are sometimes incompatible with other CAD tools. I also find licensing can be a bit expensive for a design software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One of best analysis tool which can do any type of job with better accuracy result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's little expensive unless you are pro and using everyday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
