What do you like best about Ansys High Performance Computing?

High-fidelity models

Ansys HPC allows engineers to create large, accurate models that predict how a product will perform in real-world conditions.

Faster simulations

Ansys HPC software can run more simulations in less time using multicore computers.

Scalable performance

Ansys HPC provides high-speed, scalable performance across many simulation disciplines, including structural mechanics, fluid dynamics, and thermal and electromagnetic analyses.

Cross-disciplinary engineering

Ansys HPC can support cross-disciplinary engineering teams.

Faster innovation

Ansys HPC can help engineers innovate faster, get to market faster, and reduce rework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys High Performance Computing?

Probably the issue I have is with how inflation layers work. I found that it is quicker and cleaner to use a mapped mesh with biased edge sizing instead of inflation. If you want it to start a certain distance away you can use virtual bodies. The other big issue I have is the error handling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys High Performance Computing solving and how is that benefiting you?

Understand how scalable high-performance computing (HPC) solutions enable you to perform more high-fidelity simulations in less time on today's multicore computers. With the Ansys HPC software suite, you can use today's multicore computers to perform more simulations in less time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Meshing?

It has both automatic meshing, and semi automatic for meshing variations. Easy to get the meshing with auto options. And I am using it for time bound meshing. Easy to imlement and integrate with Ansys Workbench. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Meshing?

Control on the mesh transition is less compared to other meshing tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We do use Ansys workbench for simulations, but whenever the refined mesh is required we use Ansys Mesh tool to modify and get the required meshing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager?

Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager (EKM) is the home to all the operations and data needed for all the tasks you perform within Ansys. Personally using it for CAE operations almost everyday helps me to manage all my simulations all at once at one single page very easily. The page customisation option as per the user needs might be my favourite feature out there with EKM. Things are very handy resulting in fast operations and avoiding multiple repetitive tasks with the data server at EKM. The scalability helps multiple users access my data and simultions from their respective devices helping me with feedbacks instantly and helping everyone to use data for their respective tasks. Ansys help also provides quick support if you get stuck at some point, their PDF files and vast number of tutorial or how to do videos work as a helping hand all the time. Altogether EKM has made my work process faster, easier, effortless for repetitive tasks and handy for all the operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager?

The process required for page customisation is a little lengthy from my experience, you get bored from the repetitive tabs to handle there. Also if I have my simulation failed for some reason I would love to directly click on the error code which would lead me to Ansys help other than remembering or copying the code and searching for it manually. The intergrated applications within Ansys take long time sometimes to start if you wish to go from one application to another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys Engineering Knowledge Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps me/industry to save money from simulating my product before putting it into physical testing and production. Helps me with the status and work progress of all my simualtions which works very well than other softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Meshing?

The best thing about Ansys Meshing is its user-friendly and easy-to-use interface compared to other software like Hypermesh. Ansys Meshing is the best pre-processing tool for beginners in the FEA and CFD fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Meshing?

Since Ansys is not the software that specializes only in meshing, sometimes, for the simulations where we need a particular type of meshing in certain areas, it becomes challenging and time-consuming to work in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Meshing is a crucial step in any simulation activity, as deciding how much the simulation will have accuracy and how much time it will take to solve the simulation. Ansys Meshing help simplify the meshing process in a very efficient way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
