Ansys SpaceClaim Pros and Cons

ANSYS SpaceClaim are very intuitive, easy to learn (with videos on Youtube). Modelling ships in SpaceClaim are quick and compliant with AWQA (hydrodynamic package) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not like Solidwork where you build layers one by one, therefore it's not very structural but by the same token, very dynamic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though I used it as a student licence software I had available most of its abilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love to use my designs also on my phone. Maybe the basic appearance and some really basic result's showing, using the ready results of the computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very user friendly GUI based modelling software and usefull with both drafting and modelling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't say right now as I am finding it very productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reverse engineering module.............. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Modeling handles, and sketching grid.... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ansys SpaceClaim user interface is very good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In ansys SpaceClaim options are less compared to other software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Absolutely nothing. The team behind this software must have been drunk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tools and inputs are absolutely terrible. Why would you combine extrude, revolve and loft into one command named pull? And then not provide any tangible options to define the direction and degree? Everything in the fact that the interface is designed to point and click, just let me define directions and parameters in an options window without trying to define a direction in 3D space using a 2D display. I hated everything about how this program was designed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use and time saving since I can pull faces and features. It is very easy and time saving for designing 3D models.

Parametric modeling is very easy feature to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Volume fill options need to be looked at. Sometimes it takes more time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
