DES features can be improved Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Industrial Engineer II Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Does less than we hoped" August 20, 2019 2.0 Pros Easily drop in Solidworks models and get a true sense of the layout vs. 2D AutoCAD. We purchased VR goggles so the user can be "dropped into" the cell to feel it out. We attended a training and it really helped us get up and going. Cons Animating the cell takes more time invested than the reward reaped from seeing it animated. The data we need is better gathered from a 2D simulation vs. a 3D so that it is more accurate/exact. Also the female operator wears heels, has an inch of midriff showing, and a large chest - it is weird.
