CAE Body Exterior & Body NVH Engineer Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Terrific FEA pre-post processing tool " August 29, 2018 5.0 I had used it during the last 7 years on a daily basis Pros You can create your own tools with the help of TCL/TK and the internal commands of the software. This feature allows you to constantly improve and automate your process. The batch mesher works great. I newer versions you already have the undo "ctl Z" option. Cons Some modules like HyperMorph require a lot of work to get the job done Review Source AO Altug O. CAE Responsible Automotive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Better with new interface" November 9, 2022 5.0 I'm cleaning geometries and meshing them quickly, which needs analysis and running smoothly. Hyperworks made my work easier and faster. For meshing, we are using it in our department all the time. Pros I like the new interface; the icons are very understandable and useful. And we don't need to continuously press the ctrl button on the keyboard while panning and turning the geometry. Cons After the 2022.1 patch, most of the bugs are removed, but there are still some. So I'm waiting for the 2022.2 patch; probably program will run more smoothly. And somehow, I didn't understand when the command was not working correctly after the close and reopen; the program command was working well. It happened a few times, which is weird.

Good to do fast simulations and to build a complex model like a whole vehicle. Cons To slowly for medium computers. It is necessary to spend a lot of money to buy a strong computer. Reason for choosing Altair HyperWorks From price reason. Review Source Angélica P. Project Engineer Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing software but is not user friendly" July 28, 2018 4.0 I did a structural optimization that allowed me to get my degree in MSc in mechanical engineer. Pros It has amazing features for engineers, allows to do very useful analysis, in my experience I did a lot of structural optimizations. Cons It doesn't have an undo option, you can only do it once. So if you want to go back to a previous state, you can't. And this is important because for working in finite elements analysis, you need to be very careful, so if you mess in the assignment of some elements, you can only undo the last action. Also, is not user friendly so I had to continuously search for help in the manual or in the site. The online help is very useful and they respond quickly. Review Source HM Henry M. Estudiante Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excelente simulación para diseño mecánico" December 1, 2022 4.0 Mi experiencia una de la mejores muy buena, excelentes diseños y simulaciones con resultados precisos y en tiempo corto, esencial para el momento de realizar el cad de los elementos mecánicos. Pros Es un software muy bueno para la simulación de diseños mecánicos, sus resultados son muy cercanos a los reales y esto se lo hace en un tiempo corto y con un consumo de memoria mínimo de la pc, supera por mucho a otros software de simulación excelente trabajo Altair. Cons La interface de comunicación del software con el usuario es poco complicada de manejar al inicio porque no se conoce las diferentes opciones que este ofrece y no se puede dar toda la utilidad al manejo de software Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Fleet Analyst Mining & Metals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excelent tool to engineering" August 2, 2018 4.0 Pros You can do analysis of you structures very fast and precise. This software solve with finite elements calculations related to structures and motion of them. Also, you can optimize your results to reduce costs (Materials and production time) Cons You have to be very careful because the software does not have an option to correct your simulation. So you have to try to do it right at first.
