Firstly, this is the only FEA I've used that uses multiple threads/cores of a CPU, which streamlines calculation time significantly, in my experience. Secondly, there's pretty much nothing you can't simulate, seriously. With the workbench, running beam analysis, thermal transfer, fluid flow...you can do all of this to the same part. It's very integrative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If you haven't been trained on it, it's very overwhelming. This thing needs a 40 hour course to fully understand how to properly prep for Analysis, set up your part or assembly for Analysis, mesh, and finally run the analysis. Just understanding the consequences of how you're running your analysis and what your results look like can be a bit complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In static simuliations the surface to surface contacts work better than any other FEA software I have tried Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Failed convergence happens way too much. Should include some auto optimization for contact stiffness or other factors to help convergence Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its a terrific software with lots of usefuly tools. The help menu is actually helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not very user friendly, little support online, issues models are often hard to resolve Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ansys is an excellent software for performing FEA. A very smooth workflow right from importing the model to applying boundary conditions to getting the results makes it easy to learn and understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The product is slightly expensive as compared to some of the other FEA software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the possibility to add new features and mostly on composites and material modelling Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Using the workbench is not easy for me. so I am still using the classic one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have used a handful of FEA software, the structural package in ANSYS is the best. Easy to use, easy to organize different iterations, easy to generate reports on the analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There was nothing specific that I dislike about ANSYS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The simulations of stress analysis and heat transfer are very powerful and impressive. When the analysis is complete, the visualizations are easy to interpret. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I might have been using an old version (my university might have been cheap), but developing simulations in Ansys was a big pain. There is no "Edit > Undo" option, so if you made a mistake, you had to manually delete and retry. The interface was not user friendly. You really have to know what you're doing in order to be able to use this software effectively. It is so powerful that there are too many options for many basic analyses (at least for an undergraduate student) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
