What do you like best about MapleSim?

MapleSim is great for 3D modeling and design analysis. I love how simple it is to input my desired data into the program and it will convert it into models and visualizations. This software has so many hidden useful features that will take your data and make it into something "visually" appealing. It is a fantastic program for creating impressive documentation materials.

What do you dislike about MapleSim?

This program does take a while to learn. While I am technically trained in mathematics, there was still somewhat of a learning curve. In order to properly use the program, it's vital that you have a deep understanding of physics and math. The interface at times can be complex and will take some time to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MapleSim:

If you or your company is looking to switch over to MapleSim, understand that there is a slight learning curve to it. However, if you're able to get over the initial leaning, it is a great program to transform your data into something visually simulating. The price is affordable for most small businesses and their customer service is excellent as well. The value for the money paid is not even comparable when looking at other similar programs on the market today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MapleSim solving and how is that benefiting you?

MapleSim has helped my company create stunning models and visualizations. It has taken the most complex data and transformed it into something my whole company (and customers) can understand. It has greatly improved our efficiency as well. I wouldn't be caught using any other software! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MapleSim?

I have been using Maplesim for 2 years in my job. It is a great sofware for engineers. The best part is that you can easily drag and drop any component. I can easily contruct my parts by just dragging from the menu. I didn't know anything about MapleSim. Now, I am very comfortable with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MapleSim?

I experience some problems when I try to integrate some seperate parts. You are supposed to know some tricks. I have learned by trial and error. Some tips can be given to overcome those problems. The another part that I don't like is its price. It may be much more affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MapleSim:

Very nice. Everyone who is interested in modeling should buy this product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MapleSim solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving my engineering problems with MapleSim. The simulation tool is also awesome. The visual results are very attractive. This helps me to show my results effectively in my job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
