Promises big but falls a little short

What differentiates Ansys SpaceClaim from other similar products?
The "smart" design features are actually nice, you can make design changes very quickly which is useful for FEA
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Definitely the smart design features mentioned above
What do you dislike most about this product?
It's clunky when trying to make traditional design changes, to the point that it would have been easier to just model in SolidWorks and import rather than mess around with SpaceClaim
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If using with Workbench, just import geometry from your favorite 3D modeler, instead.
Pros
- Fair
- Generous Negotitation
- Unique Features
- Caring
Cons
- Less Productive
- Less Effective Service
- Less Efficient Service

What differentiates Ansys SpaceClaim from other similar products?
From the very beginning I used only this software from all of my design solutions and is never let me down in any aspect and features
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
In ansys you can see all the stress and strain applies to the joint or to the design at any given point or at the band so this is so much time saving for us engineer to recognise from where the Machines is going to fail
What do you dislike most about this product?
I didn't find anything there to dislike but some time to run the simulation for station strain it took ok very longer than usual
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Just go for it it will save time and money and your machine from failure
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
