ANSYS is the global leader in engineering simulation. We help the worlds most innovative companies deliver radically better products to their customers. By offering the best and broadest portfolio of engineering simulation software, we help them solve the most complex design challenges and engineer products limited only by imagination.
As a civil engineer, ANSYS helps me a lot for my research works during my final year academic period. The GUI is pretty simple and user-friendly. There are plenty of online learning materials available on the internet and it is the best tool for creating a mesh and doing finite element analysis(FEA). The run time for the final results is acceptable when compared to the other softwares like Abacus and etc.
A little bit expensive software in terms of pricing. Still, need some improvements in some specific areas.
I liked the feature that ANSYS has added to the Workbench for geometry optimization.
I belive the modeling part of ANSYS can be improved to be more user friendly, so that it would be much easier to use the powerfull tools that ANSYS provides.
Some functionality isn't obvious. It is hard to troubleshoot what isn't working in a simulation sometimes.
Reliable data for CFD analysis in pre-test phase.
It requires very high computer specification for seamless experience.
I loved Meshing tool and graphics shown in modelling. Software has different analysis options like structural,vibration,thermal,fluid analysis and many more. I have used this software for structural and thermal analysis mainly. Great use in Finite Element Analysis. It saves time of experimentation.
The hard part is to learn all about this software and its features. It's not easy to use and it's bit of expensive software.
Ansys has so many module to run analysis what do you need.
You must be careful when preparation of analysis. You will forgot the tools and details If you don't use this program continuously.
This software has one of the best hyper-elastic material analysis. ANSYS Structural provides the best FEA result. Curve fitting option is best in this software.
Transition between tetra and hexa mesh can be difficult.
The wide availability of elements for any particular usage and the reliable solver are the major plus points. Variety of boolean operations are very easy to use.
The post processing is not user friendly. The contours and graphs displayed are in old fashioned style. The scriptting is also not comfortable to use.
I used ANSYS Workbench to perform many analysis on complex fluid flow problems with a temperature gradient to calculate the stress on the pipe.
ANSYS can crash pretty easily and lose the current analysis or mesh that was processing. Having a machine with high specs counters this well
ANSYS really changed the way we model our equipment, vibratory machinery. Until now we were relying primarily on our experience and expertise. With modal analysis, we were able to identify problems that weren't obvious before. This in return helped us to optimise our constructions and be more competitive on the market.
The software is great but it is also as good as the engineer who is interpreting the results. Some areas of the software still need to be improved like the mesh generator.
The user interface of the software is very good. It has all the tools to perform Explicit and Implicit Analysis. Mesh generation is easy to use and in the newer version, you can easily create complex geometry. Good software to analyze brittle materials.
The material library is not that updated for explicit materials and it could have been improved. Apart from that, there are fewer tools for postprocessing and it could have been improved. Postprocessing is the most important part of the analysis and ANSYS has some limitations in postprocessing.
Excellent GUI. Very user friendly. High accuracy and reliability. Has numerous modules for all types of analysis.
Reading mesh of imported geometry should be worked upon a little bit. Several instances have occurred wherein mesh was not read correctly leading to waste of time.
Lots of tools that need to understand for a complete analysis.
The geometric modeling of the ANSYS Workbench isn't that great as it does not offer the flexibility in modeling the part, thus rendering ANSYS Workbench a fairly good analysis tool.
It provides you results in a very good shape. You can see the graphs, animations on analyzed part, numbers etc.
Some features could be very detailed and hard to figure out.
ANSYS Fluent is a well-known CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Software in the industry. It's using by wide-range of companies from automotive, aviation, defense, marine, agriculture, chemistry, ...etc. industries. It has a well oriented graphical user interface (GUI). You can easily set the type of CAE analyses and boundary conditions. If you need a quick setup for your CAE case, you should use Text-User-Interface (TUI). You should write your commands into a text file and execute on the computing cluster. That's the easy way to run an analysis.
It is so hard to debug the TUI errors. You could spend much resource (CPU) for this kind of stuff because it takes so long time.
In addition to all the different types of analysis available to apply in the pieces, you have a really friendly interface. Your pieces can be made in the Ansys DesignModeler program or be imported from other 3D CAD tools. In addition, you have refining tools for meshing to focus on areas of interest, either by its state of charge or its particular shape.
If the size of the element chosen in the meshes is very small, the simulation can take an excessive time. The issue would be related to the processing capacity of the computer.
It is good software for electrical engineers and it is helpful in modeling and testing of new apparatus and its behavior under different conditions . It is very easy to learn and there are many resources available help in learning it efficiently.
The interface is a bit confusing for new user and for beginners, it is difficult to obtain desired results. there is a need of little improvement in help.
For a new user, it can be difficult to learn. It is also quite expensive, but you do get what you pay for.
First of all this software is not for specific engineering it can be used by every engineering department. it contains different types of tools that can fulfill the requirements of all engineering fields. it is also a user-friendly software and complete user guidance is available. This software has the ability to accept geometries designed in other softwares. this software basically consists of four different steps. first is a Modular design where the user can design his/her own geometry. The second step consists of meshing where geometry is divided into smaller portions to apply the required equation solvers. the third step is setup where boundary conditions are applied. the last step contains results where it can be analyzed through tabular or graphical representation.
This software is very heavy and requires a powerful computing power for accurate results. it crushes during simulations after which you will have to restart all of your work.
Any type of analysis can be done for engineering simulations. It helped a lot during college projects and now continues at work. Integration with different modeling programs improved a lot.
It's not an easy software so takes sometime to get experienced. But then simulations, CAE works get really easy after learning phase.
I mostly like in Ansys import geometry from other parts of softwares.I can import easly geometry in different file.Another thing is Meshing geometry.To mesh geometry is very simple and you can increase resolution of cells very fast .
I like more Ansys CFX because is very flexible in running Turbomachinery case studies and I can change parameters very fast and take high quality results.
ANSYS Fluent gives very accurate and reliable simulation results in Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis. It has an excellent graphical user interface (GUI) where you can easily select the type of CAE analysis and other parameters for most of the simulations while using user defined functions (UDF) to handle complex and customized simulations. Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis is another great feature in this software which enables the multiphysics study of fluids and structure interaction.
ANSYS requires heavy computational power to give accurate results for complex analysis. Creating complex models in DesignModeler is harder compared to other modeling tools.
I really like it's different modeling tools, easy to use and understandable. Good capacity for handling large data.
It's user interface is little bit complex compare to its competitor software's like solidworks and catia
gives powerful structure analysis options in relatively user friendly environment. You will not find easier to use mechanical FEA software that grows in useful features with each release - for example topology optimization in v18 is really what most of mechanical engineers were waiting for in FEA tool.
quite limited meshing options (very often do not recognize simple sweep geometries and created tetra mesh)
This software has so many capabilities. It can be used to simulate simple beam bending problems, as well as much more complex problems like bridges and cyclic loading problems. If you get good with the command bar, you can just edit code, and read from the file to run through problems quickly. The help menu is a life-saver.
Not everything is intuitive, and with no "undo" button, it can be frustrating. Getting used to the commands takes a little time. Navigating through the drop-down lists takes lots of time.
what I liked the most about the software is the end result once you have proceed your design and want to check how the fluid dynamic works on it example in a car park how the smoke extract will work and remove smoke and fumes. this is the best part seeing that your design works and this can be used as evidence that in the real world it should work.
it is very complicated and time consuming, if you don't have a super computer it can take ours to run the program .
-You can perform tons of simulation using ANSYS including thermal, static, etc.
-Sometimes it takes a lot of time for a solution to converge.
Various engineering tools for any kind company are offered by ANSYS. It has a great training/help documents with hyperlinks which you can reach easily what you what. You can also create your own models and run it. Very easy to mesh complex geometry of designs. Compatible with other modeling tools such as Hypermesh.
It has not a user friendly interface. Sometimes it crashes and causes loss of work. Every tool needs license which may be expensive to get all of them. It can be hard to find the issue with your model in Fluent.
Ansys is one of the best softwares to carryout small scale modeling work which are related to structural works. It has a great simulation ability to demonstrate results with perfect outcomes. Software is not only limited for structural works but can be used for other engineering aspects effectively.
If you are interested in working with ansys you definitely have to follow a course related to the software. Otherwise you won't be able to get the full use of available functions.
Learning curve is very steep and even with documentation some of the features need support assistance. I also find it difficult to support each release separately for every user. In most cases it is easier to skip the initial and dot 2 release.
Ability to solve problems of any kind of difficulty. I use it for heating system simulation and the plots it produces are perfect. Also such simulation can partially replace real experiments.
Very complicated and not enough practical and cleanly explained tutorials
As is expected with such a robust software, the learning curve for any new user is quite steep. Navigating the multitude of menu layers is not intuitive at first. The built in CAD modeling package in ANSYS is also not nearly as useful as more dedicated CAD softwares, such as Solidworks or Creo. It would be nice to not always have to import a model into ANSYS when the design gets a bit too complex.
- Great software for simulations that shows visualisations for the user
- UI needs improvement to navigate between tools easily
The software allows to solve multi-Physics problems from mechanical deformation, heat transfer, to computational fluid dynamics. ANSYS Workbenchs is a great platform for pre-processing, meshing, and post-processing procedure that makes the software very intuitive and easy to use.
Too expensive and it has limited number of nodes/elements for students.
very expensive, need excellent skill and knowledge,
As they have a lot of software into it, it's hard to really uses them all, you have to choose wisely.
One of the most sophisticated Cad software I had used in time, almost everything from scrap to prototype to final product can be made on this software and made to go for at test run which helps in understandings defects or efficiency of the product.
I didn't like the way of using it as it was a bit difficult to use it for a beginner as the instructions for how to use a tool is difficult to understand
It has a great feature of designing and modelling of your need. It also has online tutoring about drawing if the user don't know how to use the software. This software has very high accuracy.
Although it is a great designing software, but there can be still some improvement in the structure modelling part. Everything except this is awesome.
I used ANSYS extensively for the analysis of mechanical components. ANSYS APDL is easy to use and follows step-by-step procedures. Other platforms of ANSYS like the fluent is also very versatile. The software can be used to analyze simple to extremely complicated processes and structures.
The documentation is not very good and getting help about projects and analyses is a bit difficult at the start. The software is memory intensive and requires performance computers for smooth operation.
I used this tool for Fluent. Aerodynamics simulations are nice and easy. I got used to it very fast. And cheap.
Aeroacoustics capability is not effective for 1:1 scale vehicle (car) models. Actually, it is not a problem of the tool, but the method it uses. I prefer LBM based softwares compared to N-S solutions. LBM is more practical in terms of time, but expensive.
Ansys is an industry leading software for structural and thermal similation. It's modular approach to setting up multi-physics simulation makes it easy and intuitive to use even for beginner users. But don't let its simplicity fool you. If you know what you are doing it can pretty much let you adjust every single simulation parameter from meshing to solver settings. Geometry cleaning / preparation and meshing is perhaps the most time consuming aspect of running a simulation. Ansys' adaptive mesh refinement does an outstanding job of meshing the geometry automatically which is great for a first pass analysis. You can pass results from one simulation to other just by dragging and dropping an arrow in UI
Unlike Abaqus which includes everything in one single license, you will need to purchase different modules for advanced simulations (non-linear, dynamic, fatigue etc.) which can be very expensive.
This software is much more user friendly compared with other 3D simulations programs. I think the learning curve is shorter compared with programs like abaqus. However, abaqus provides more capabilities and also introduces material subroutines and the capability of incorporating your own code with the program. However, I think ANSYS has included those capabilities in their more recent versions. They also have the CFD ( coupled fluid dynamics to their program) which is great to model interaction of fluids with solids
It is a very computationally heavy program and it crashed a lot when I was using it. However, my setup of the time was not really strong so I was to blame as well for that.
I used the fluent of ansys product series. It is quite famous in the industry and provides very powerful solutions.
The learning curve its not easy. Some methods are not as robust as the others. The error diagnostics can be hard some complex models
Ansys is free to use. This is the best software for students in learning phase to practice simulation about fluid.
Ansys needs a proper guidance before using it. And it requires a powerful computer for fast and accurate simulation.
We can calculate various parameters like stress, safety margin,total deformation and also helps in finding out how good mesh is
The version keeps on updating so have to learn again.I used 19.1 before but now I am using 19.2.Also it should provide student version easily
Less of source file availability and cost of ownership
It gives reliable simulation results before manufacturing a device. At each version tries to solve the software problems.
Sketching a system is harder compare than similar software. The user's help document is not practical because of lacking enough examples.
+ It makes possible modelling and solving many kind of engineering application in a practical way and short period of time.
- It takes so much effort to be good at ANSYS.
This tool is recommended by most of the professional experts for the simulation of 3D models. Basic operations are very similar to ordinary CAD tools. Advanced simulations can be modelled and simulated. Lot of tutorials and documentation are available on the internet.
It requires basic mechanical engineering knowledge there for not much suitable for beginners. Highly advanced tool than other CAD tools. Simulations require a lot of processing power and time. Therefore it is hard to run simulations on Laptops.
Ansys is user friendly software to use. I used it for subsea pipelines buckling and walking analysis. Computation is easy and help page is very useful to find out the application
It takes more time to compute longer models especially when you have more degrees of freedom and constraints applied to the model
By default, ANSYS can only use one core on an AMD CPU as opposed to four on Intel CPU.
The math tools available in the software which make it viabole for a huge range of problems. We'rw an exlcusive ansys partner and work very closely with them on multiple tasks
Sometimes takes time to solve and converge and ansys meshing isn't very good comapred to the solver
Sometimes some simulations are not run for boundary condition error.But it does not say exactly.
I'm using ANSYS since college as it helped a lot with my engineering projects and now I continue at work for mechanical and structural analysis now.
When I get an error for analysis, I can't find the reason easily. There are huge tutorials for the software but it's not so easy to find the problems solutions.
It is really complex, deep as ocean! Especially if you are working on the remote areas of engineering, it could be a night mare. Customer support knows basics that is OK however they can not always support you on your deep and complex problems. Also on Fluent module is not really capable for "mass transfer".
Difficult to entegrate it with a PLM program. Ergo, file management is bad
The calculation time is quite good ,I was using another program ,it took 2 times from Ansys Fluent. Flexibility is another good point ,I can add c++ codes inside the program.
It always gives a result even if I entered a silly numbers ,it always calculates a number and does not give an error so I always get a result but other programs such as preprocessor gambit always gives an error and you adjust your mesh or other silly numbers.
It has too many different tools embedded which allows one to perform different types of analyses ranging from structural to CFD, or even electrical and thermal management. One can also create his/her own models and use the meshing tool without needing any other application.
Some of its tools allocates too much memory of computer while some other tools do not, which appears to be an optimization issue.
Non linear Structural Analysis, Wear Analysis
XFEM capability. Thermo mechanical capabilty can be improved
I wish the user interface was worked on a bit, in order to make it a bit user-friendly.
definitely price tag is rather high. it probably is not that accessible for small business because of that.
Very clear and transparent, it makes you understand how FEA works. Lots of help and tutorials online.
Somehow raw environment. Graphics quality is low.
You have to have a very firm grasp of what you are trying to do. There is virtually no guidance inside the software. If you don't know what you are doing you WILL get bogus results.
The numerous features available in ANSYS make it essential for design verification and modeling. As a graduate researcher, designing a new experimental apparatus necessitates knowing the potential loading that will be imposed on the system, and even the flow field analysis (checking for laminar flow). ANSYS provides enough online resources to quickly learn how to create a model, create an adequate mesh, and setup the proper boundary and load conditions for the analysis. The end results have aided in improving engineering designs. I highly recommend learning and being exposed to ANSYS early as an engineer.
The overall interface is not that user-friendly at first. A lot of the different setup parameters, whether meshing, boundary conditions, load conditions, physical constants, or mesh type, are all often found on their own separate drop-down window, which makes navigating between different settings and properly setting up the model quite confusing at first.
Tough to learn and expertise. User interface is not very friendly for initial learning.
I like that there is varied functionality built into the same interface. I like being able to build a model in the workbench and then perform finite element analysis on it in the same software package rather than transferring the model to some other software. The FEA simulations are pretty straightforward to set up and get running.
It can be a little buggy. A coworker and I could run the exact same simulation on the exact same model and end up with different results. Not always sure what the issues are, but could potentially be improved with more user testing.
1.) It requires a wealth of knowledge and experience including theoretical &
The realism in the simulation models of this software are incredible, since they are very close to reality. The available controls allow to evaluate any variable and part that is desired. It has the option of optimizing results to reach a response that improves the performance of what is being designed and tested.
The complexity of the software makes the learning curve quite slow, despite the support found on the internet, some terminology must be known before using the software and it is not described very well in some cases.
Number of options offered for analysis and simulations in engineering.
It is expensive software.
Maybe the price, and web or mobile app for sharing data and export data results. Also if you need to use muti core solver you need to paid for it.
ANSYS may sometimes display error messages that are a bit unexplainable. Unfortunately, this makes the experience a bit more negative.
Easy program to use. Various engineering topics. Fluids, stresses and deformations, static systems and dynamic systems.
This is a difficult program to learn. It is a bit expensive program. Many options must be configured.
It forms part of the workbench interface, which allows this module to be linked with another tools without problems.
It has an outdated graphical interface that does not facilitate the use of the program.
Contains multiple analysis suite packages for all types of analysis; static, dynamic, structural, thermal, model, flow, etc..
Not easy to use at first. Need to understand the setup and process of the analysis to actually run a creditable study
