An excellent tool for our organization
The software is used to generate 3D simulations that allow evaluating the total feasibility of a product at a technical level. Plus this software is incredibly intuitive and really does provide a great finished product. The software runs relatively quickly and will usually throw an error right away, which is a nice feature.
- Ability to use Nurbs-style modeling to analyze freeform designs.
- I was quickly able to model the exact scenario I wanted to optimize and get accurate results for what I wanted to achieve.
- I think the tools to create CAD are a bit difficult to use. Consequently, it is now easier to develop the part in other software, which is bad since we need to use more than one tool at a time.
- Easy interface, works great for my needs.
- The ability to create natural flowing structures that have engineering data to support the style.
- In my personal opinion, we think that this product does not have any negative aspect that makes us feel very uncomfortable.

Best motion simulation software for linear actuators or motors
We are a small company that designs and build products using actuator and motors. Some are simple where weight is not essential, and the forces are not high, so simple math and sketches will provide adequate product design information. Some of our products are very weight sensitive and have more complex movements and loading cases. These products demand to do finite element analysis before any building gets started. The problem we ran into in 1996 was defining the forces and force vectors to put into the FEA software to get usable results. Over the years, we have tried several different kinematic simulation software with marginal results.
- Defining the actuators, pin joints, sliding joints is very easy.
- Defining a motion sequence is straightforward.
- The UI tends to make you follow a sequence of steps to be successful in doing a motion simulation and finite element analysis study on a design.
- The motion simulation results are automatically transferred to the FEA solver.
- Currently, we have to import the SOLIDWORKS assembly and reposition it in space.
- Currently, there are no mesh refinement capabilities.
- We have completed a proof of concept product for disabled people that will be a new market area for our company.
- We are expanding the number of special projects we will do every year that requires motors and actuators.
- The only negative is being busier means expanding at a higher rate than expected.
Working Model, MathCad, Dynamic Designer, Algor, and Mathlab had poor UI's and poor ways to define actuator and motor motion profiles. The force results and vectors were not easy to input into the FEA software. SOLIDWORKS Motion does not have an excellent way to define a linear actuator or its motion profile.
Altair provides a UI that guides you through defining your linear actuator or motor's motion profile quickly.
