Altair HyperWorks vs. CoreIntegrator Workflow

Engineering firms and companies with needs for multiple disciplines of analysis capabilities on a regular basis will benefit from HyperWorks. Companies with short term engineering needs (less than 6 months) or who only need a particular analysis/simulation discipline may be better off using a consultant (who likely uses HyperWorks).

I have found CoreIntegrator to work well for our needs as an Accounts Payable workflow solution. The system was implemented with very little internal technical assistance. It can be administered by a business user without a great deal of technical knowledge because the CI support staff is knowledgeable and helpful.

• All-inclusive software suite
• Wide breadth of capabilities and custom scripting
• Highly efficient and scalable solvers/computation

Incentivized

• Integration to Great Plains
• Simple to use

• User interface is improving, but not always intuitive; varies across tools
• Steep learning curve
• Cost may be out of reach for some, but relatively inexpensive if you need all the tools it includes (vs. paying for each tool individually)

Incentivized

• The system administration is somewhat difficult for someone that is not highly technical.
• Deleted or removed items appear in search results.

Sometimes we receive slow responses.

Because HyperWorks, HyperMesh is best

We didn't review another product because CoreIntegrator so perfectly met our needs.

Incentivized

• An all in one solution keeps costs down if you need multiple analysis capabilities (FEA, CFD, MBD, etc.)
• Analysis work supports our other engineering/design work we wouldn't otherwise receive
• Fast and efficient solvers leads to higher throughput

Incentivized

• Time saving outweighs the cost.
• Ease of use is so much better than most software solutions.
