What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

ANSYS mechanical gives the user a lot of control over how to simulate a problem. It enables the user to select the exact element type and the kind of meshing that the user wants to work with. The biggest advantage is the APDL programming which a person can use to suit his or her simulation requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

The interface of ANSYS Mechanical is too primitive and a user can have difficulty in visualizing a problem with a complex geometry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Mechanical:

A person needs patience in understanding how the software works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has helped me to model complex problems related to field of structural engineering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

It's straightforward on how to create 3D models and then set up simulations on them. There are plenty of different simulations that you can run, too. It's very powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

It can take really long to run simulations and can crash sometimes. The student version is also very lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Mechanical:

I prefer it over Solidworks actually. It's easy to use and very powerful. It can run many different types of simulations in the same file as well: mechanical, fluid, electrical, thermal, etc etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use Ansys to run simulations on current projects I am working on. It has helped us in determining when our product will work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

Ansys is one of the best software I have ever used. It's easy to use and gives desired results at every high stressed point. Also, it supports mostly all the file formats and the models can be edited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

Although it is the fastest tool available in the market for FEA, still I see some scope of improvement in that area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Mechanical:

With this software, you can explore the various possibilities any metallic or non-metallic component has to offer. Useful for business and research purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Stress analysis of subsea components to ensure the desired design life. It helps estimate the design life of any component. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

Nice and easy-to-use user interface with great capability to solve multi-physics problems, such as statics, dynamics, thermal, fluid, etc. In addition, they provide free version for students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

License of the software is very expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use it in the university to solve stress-strain analysis, heat conduction and fluid flow problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

User-friendly interface makes Ansys very easy to use, Ansys divide every step in simulation procedure (model, meshing, boundary condition, results) with block, very convenient to track different designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

Ansys makes simulation like a black box, you put input on one end and get output on the other. The results can be easily read by non-expert with colorful pictures which can be dangerous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Mechanical:

The price is expensive but Ansys do have student version which is limited power but good to try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

FEM - Finite Element Method.

The best benefit I think is comparing different designs. Ansys also have feature called DoE where you can put a lot of parameters for your design without touching the CAD model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Mechanical?

ANSYS combines support for every conceivable type of FEA analysis into one consistent package. Design modeler is great for quick tweaks to imported CAD geometry in order to prepare the model for analysis. Workbench interface makes it very easy to share geometry and material data between multiple different analyses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Mechanical?

Geometry import from native CAD file formats seems to not work more often than it works. Design Modeler could be more intuitive for geometry creation from scratch. Some error messages when meshing and running analyses can be less than clear, so it is up to the user to know what he or she is doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Mechanical:

Although the integrated analysis packages found in most CAD software are greatly improving, ANSYS is still the gold standard for FEA. For more complicated or advanced analyses (heat transfer, fluid flow, mechanical contact) it is a must and for simple analyses it still had many advantages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use ANSYS mostly for static mechanical analysis, with occasional contact and motion cases. The results are absolutely critical for success of my designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
