What reviewers say
Easy to use and good for simple simulation.
“It's work quickly with provide accurate result. Helpful to quick evaluate our product design for it's reliability”
Looks nice, feels unreliable.
“Fast learning curve. Intuitive interface allows even a novice user, with the right background, to effectively run a straightforward analysis, by generating a mesh and applying loads and constraints quickly.”
Solidworks is a great tool to use when using solidworks 3d cad
“Gives us the ability to test out differnet components and assemblies in solid works to see if the will perform as intended and have the ability to last for many cycles of operation. eay to use. cuctomer support has benn very helpfull with all feedback we needed. We use it on a ”
