What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

This program despite having a slightly overwhelming interface has many elements that help solve and simulate many parts and components of any equipment subjected to different forces such as mechanical and thermal stresses, and other engineering applications. Structural analysis of components can be easily performed much more dynamically and can predict behaviors and patterns of many processes related to equipment used in engineering Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

Since the time I have been using this tool (which is a long time) I cannot mention any disadvantages of this software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ansys encompasses so many aspects in engineering that it helps us in the analysis and simulation of many parts and components by the finite element method. This tool performs a complete analysis of the component that we want to undergo the submission of physical phenomena used in engineering and in our case in oil processes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys LS-DYNA?

What I like most is the fact that with LS-Dyna you can really visualize digitally what in the real world happen, so translating it in more powerful words, you can save money and obtaining 99% the same results of a crash in real life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys LS-DYNA?

What I dislike most is the pre-post because it is no admissibile that only because it is free, it is very bad in creating the bulk code. First of all the graphics layout is terrible, mostly if you use the old one. There is not the ctrl+z function shortucut to undone actions which is very very bad! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys LS-DYNA:

Before using Ls-Dyna please give a read to the manuel at least for the most common commands, mostly if you use the old layout which is just based on numbered pages with a logic not so handy. Moreover with a good knowledge of the command you can edit the key file also with the block note and sometimes make adjustements way faster than using the pre-post, an example could be if you have to change the mass of a lot of elements, with the note you can simply using the command substituing all (it's a very useful tip) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys LS-DYNA solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving crash simulations before doing them, so once performing it in the crash tunnel I compare results to have a better visual on it. We work with a lot of industries which ask us to perform crash tests in the tunnel, so with the software license we have a lot of costumers from all europe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

ANSYS home-grown product, Mechanical, is excellent. CFX is also excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

The quality of their acquisitions really depends on the original quality when purchased in addition to the development and improvement of the programs after acquisition. Personally, it seems that there really aren't any major improvements to acquisitions. They are just plopped into Mechanical but do not have similar workflows and do not feel organic to ANSYS. It's a little disappointing that they are busy buying up other software companies while not maintaining their original quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

It allows you to edit the geometry, slice it, and a lot of control parameters for mesh to get accurate results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

Mesh cannot be controlled at . You cannot tweak with the generated mesh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would recommend everyone who's looking for an FEA software to go for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Working on performing the analysis of the products that go into automobiles. It helps you in simulating how a component would real life. It helps you to determine the areas where the stresses are concentrated, so that you can make the changes in the design accordingly. The best feature that I have come across is slice feature.

What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

It is used for create simulation that check product's different properties like durability, vibration, temperature distribution, etc.Ansys used some input and measure the product behaviour in various situations. We can increase the accuracy of product and also reduce the manufacturing time of product with use of this software. I like to best thing in this software that we can import all kind of CAD file from different CAD software and perform simulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

I find most dislike thing in ansys software that we required higher intial investment because this software want powerful computer system. And also sometime I find difficulty in boundary conditions and input data of ansys software. We also require more skill and knowledge about how to operate and maintain ansys software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Mechanical:

I think it is the best software for simulation and measure different physical conditions in different engineering department. We can complete our product without any errors with use of ansys.we need to pay higher investment in intial stage but in the long term it is beneficial for us. I suggested that you purchase the ansys if you used this software in long term because it is expensive for short term use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I used this software in my company's project. We worked on the project which name is gasifier. In this project we generate energy from wastage garbage. It is big project so we need to conduct some tests like temperature controlling mechanism, measurement of natural frequency and vibration and it is too difficult to measure all this things manually so that we used ansys software in our project. We know that ansys is best software for simulation and measure different physical properties so that we used this software. We make our project successfully with this software.

What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

Uptill now for whatever purpose I have used ANSYS, I have never experienced any delays or lags during the simulation. Results obtained were very much accurate with the real-life situations and help me iterate better versions of my models with the best results in consideration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

The software is complex to get used to. It takes time and quite some practice to use it to get good results. Also, the software takes a huge load on my PC, so it is a heavy software to use. Although, cannot complain more as I do get good results in return. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am a Product Design engineer, so I usually have projects like designing a gearbox, bicycle frames, casings etc. So, in order to better understand the properties of mechanical materials, ANSYS helps me a lot. Benefits I realized are better results which help me go for better product design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Mechanical:

I think ansys is best software for performing different simulation operations and measure various properties of product.But I suggested you that we required higher investment cost and also skillful operator for ansys software. If you are primary user then I suggested that first of all you used other design software because ansys is quite difficult as compared to other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I used this software in my company's project. Me and my team worked on the project which name is 360 degree automatic drilling machine. In this project we need to check some properties of project and simulation so that we used ansys software for it because we know that ansys is best software for simulation. We conducted few tests to optimize the material required, vibration and heat transfer with used of ansys software and finally made project successfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
