Altair HyperWorks vs. WEBCON BPS

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).

Incentivized

Really well suited for processes which work with documents, seems less (but it is possible) appropriate for single/no data actions (e.g. just provide a quick update in SQL database without any process).

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

Incentivized

• Easy to develop, doesn't require high end programming crew.
• Short learning curve for end user.
• Easy to integrate with legacy technologies.

• 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 configuration of the user interface is sometimes not so flexible. However, it can be developed from the (fully flexible then).

Because HyperWorks, HyperMesh is best

Great support while implementing, affordable consulting and great follow up

• 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

• ROI seems really quick, as processes are delivered really fast (on the go in an agile way)
