Ansys OR solidworks simulation

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the comparison between Ansys and SolidWorks simulation tools for design optimization. Participants are seeking advice on which software would provide more accurate results for their simulation needs.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants suggest that SolidWorks simulation is user-friendly and has high capabilities, making it a good choice for those who prioritize ease of use.
  • Others argue that Ansys may be more suitable for larger models or assemblies, citing its superior pre-processing capabilities and better post-processing tools, particularly for contact problems.
  • A later reply expresses agreement with the view that Ansys may provide more justice for larger models.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing opinions on the advantages of Ansys versus SolidWorks simulation, indicating that multiple competing views remain without a clear consensus.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not specified the exact nature of their models or the specific types of simulations they intend to run, which may influence the choice of software.

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
