Ansys OR solidworks simulation

In summary, when it comes to simulation for design optimization, it is recommended to use ANSYS over Solidworks due to its advanced capabilities and better pre- and post-processing tools, especially for larger and more complex models.

peace be upon you:
i am working in design i have finished drawings using sloidworks and about to do simulation
and i need advice which is better ansys or SW simulaion
hint : i need accurate results to do optimization for design in the future
thx in advance

I have not worked with Ansys before but I assure you that Solidworks simulation is rather easy to use and "user-friendly" and has way high capabilities.

Zein i guess ANSYS will do more justice if in case your model is quite big (even a large assembly).Solidworks although gives you lot of flexibilty in modeling but will lag behind ANSYS pre-processing capabilities.Also i guess ANSYS will give you better post processing tools (let us say contact problems)

I totally agree
