A great variety of functionalities and controls are available for a fast design. A great pro is the ease of access to mechanically simulate your designs, Ansys has a more powerful simulation feature than other competitors. Boundary conditions and forces are easy to insert. In general, Ansys SpaceClaim is powerful, easy to use, and reliable. > > **Cons**: Ansys Spaceclaim demands a considerable amount of computational processing power, check computer requirements before purchasing. Importing geometries from other CAD software can sometimes create problems. > > Compared with other competitors, Ansys stands out and delivers, this 2D and 3D CAD software is reliable and demands a small amount of time to understand and manipulate with ease all its functionalities, you can create and simulate with quality assured if you input the correct parameters. ----- ### "Spaceclaim just isn't as intuitive as other CAD packages" — 2.0/5 > **Lucas** | *July 12, 2021* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: SpaceClaim is nice for what it can do well - quick changes to geometry within workbench. But that's it. > > **Cons**: Anything remotely more complex than changing the size of a fillet or a hole is going to be a pain to do in spaceclaim. I'd recommend almost any other software instead. ----- ### "This can be a frustrating software to use, but has lots of features." — 4.0/5 > **Joseph** | *June 7, 2018* | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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. > > Can be used to solve so many different types of mechanical and structural problems. ----- ### "Well developed software for engineers" — 5.0/5 > **Pulkit** | *May 22, 2019* | Defense & Space | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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. > > We were doing the projectile impact, depth of penetration and brittle material analysis in ANSYS. It is a good software for the simulation of plastic and brittle materials. It provides easy tools to perform analysis. The only area it lacks in postprocessing. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2051246/ansys-discovery?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2051246/ansys-discovery) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
