What do you like best about Simcenter 3D?

Simcenter 3D is easy to pick up, especially if you’re already familiar with Siemens NX. It integrates smoothly with existing tools and workflows, which means you can start using it without much hassle. The platform is packed with features that work well whether you're just getting started or you're a pro, with simple guided workflows and more advanced options when you need them. Setting it up is pretty straightforward, especially if your company is already using other Siemens software. The customer support is solid, with quick responses and plenty of helpful resources online. You’ll find yourself using it often because it handles a wide range of simulations and makes even complex tasks more manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Simcenter 3D?

There are a few drawbacks. The learning curve can be steep for beginners, especially if you're not already familiar with Siemens products like NX. The software is also resource-intensive, so you need a strong hardware setup to run complex simulations smoothly, which can be a limitation for some users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Simcenter 3D solving and how is that benefiting you?

It reduced physical prototyping for me as we can simulate it simcenter 3D softeare. I worked for fluid dynamics so it was very benificial for me that time to reduce my extra efforts of making a physical prototype and testing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Yolanda Dong of Simcenter 3D

Vishal, we understand that the learning curve and system requirements can be challenging for some users. We continually work to improve our resources and support to help users overcome these obstacles and get the most out of Simcenter 3D.

What do you like best about Simcenter 3D?

I have use Simcenter 3D for a while and I find it really powerful and better for engineering simulations. It's got many tools that cover different aspects like structural analysis thermal studies, and more. One of the thing I like the most is how integrated everything is which makes my workflow smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Simcenter 3D?

Things I don’t like about Simcenter 3D is bit difficult to learning. There is so much to it that it can feel overloaded when you are starting out. It takes a time to get comfortable with all the available features also it is heavy due to the resouces so I have noticed it slows down my computer sometimes especially while working on larger projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Simcenter 3D solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simcenter 3D helps me solve a variety of complex engineering problems from structural analysis to thermal and fluid simulations. By having all these capabilities in one platform it saves my time also it saves me the hassle of using multiple software which streamlines my workflow and makes it easier to manage projects. The detailed simulations also give me more confidence in the results leading to better decision making and ultimately creating more reliable products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Yolanda Dong of Simcenter 3D

We're glad to hear that you find Simcenter 3D powerful and beneficial for your engineering simulations. The integrated tools and capabilities are designed to streamline workflows and provide confidence in the results.

What do you like best about Simcenter Amesim?

The library of pre built submodels are quite comprehensive and enable the development of models involving different physics. The GUI, primarily the ease of plotting output variables is very handy and helps with the quick generation of results. The customer support is highly appreciable for their prompt responses and providing solutions for errors or suggestions for building/optimizing the models. What I also find really good is that ther are 2 updates released every year which includes imporovement to platform facilitites as well libraries which gives the confidence of using the state of the art tool for solving our problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Simcenter Amesim?

Although there is the possibility to do scripting of the models and also control them with a script, it is less intuitive in compariosn to some competitor tools like Matlab-simulink. Also, due to the relatively smaller user base, it is hard to find solutions to problems on open forums. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Simcenter Amesim solving and how is that benefiting you?

Amesim is used by me and my colleagues in the organization to model battery cells and systems to support the development activtities during the concept phase. This includes either as stand alone or in combination the electrical, thermal, mechanical, thermo-hydraulic, pneumatic and control systems. The tool is also used for Model in loop simulations to test software modules. Additionally, the models built with the tool help with the pre-sales activities.

What do you like best about Simcenter Amesim?

It is able to speed up the design process thanks to:

- libraries which contain a high number of pre calibrated and validated models for a huge number of different physical domains.

- a modern platform which includes, among the others, tools for parameters optimization, import of CAD files, generation of ROMs, import/export of FMUs which allow to integrate Amesim with other software, tools for creating control logic (State Charts and Signal libraries). Stable and reliable numerical solver.

The tool has a high number of features, but this does not impact negatively the usability of the tool, which is easy to use.

The tool is flexible and can be applied to a huge variaty of problems in different industrial fields (aerospace, automotive, energy, oil&gas, food&beverage, and so on). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Simcenter Amesim?

Some libraries should be merged or optimized. For example multiple libraries for modelling fluids exist and it is not always trivial to interface them properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Simcenter Amesim solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simcenter Amesim allow to create complex simulation of complex systems, involving different physical domains.

This is beneficial in order to get physical insight on the system one is designing since the early stage of the product development.

With Amesim we were able to test different architecture and individuate the most efficient one in terms of energy consumption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Chiel Verhoeven of Simcenter Amesim

Hi Andrea, thank you for your review! It's great that you've been able to optimize energy consumption with Simcenter Amesim!

What do you like best about Simcenter Amesim?

I use Amesim every day for work and I really appreciate the ability to adapt Amesim to any context and almost any physical condition. This software gives you the freedom to generate infinite models with the level of detail you desire. The only limit is your imagination!

Also, I really appreciate Amesim's ease of implementation. You don't need to write your own code (although you can if you want to), and with just a few clicks you have a functional model. You can also integrate your personal FMU into your sketch using the proprietary tool with ease.

The software help page is also full of detailed demos and information about every single component. Additionally, the Customer Support is very efficient and kind if you need a hand! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Simcenter Amesim?

I don't appreciate the license manager, especially after the v.15 update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Simcenter Amesim solving and how is that benefiting you?

I rely on Amesim for simulating primarily fluid domain issues, whether they involve entire systems or individual components. It significantly reduces the time and effort needed to create and validate models, making them operational much faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
