Human Resource Generalist Human Resources ### "For finite element method simulations." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 March 27, 2022 I work as a Human Resource Generalist in a human resources company, what has been happening for years is that working within it together with the IT team we have realized that we needed our own software to protect specific tasks such as the search for personnel, sensitive data of our clients and for this purpose we create our own software and computer tools, to keep a good record. In this sense, ansys has helped us a lot with the AI it brings and the 3D modeling so that what we want to do is successful. Pros the option of building and modeling digital twins has been extremely useful for our company, in the area of human resources we must always be at the forefront with programs that help us create better software. The simulation of our projects also runs very well in both windows and other operating systems or clouds. Cons If the mesh is assigned wrongly, the simulation duration can be significantly increased. Reasons for choosing Ansys Twin Builder the steps of use were always simpler.

I have used it for powertrain motor and control design and simulation. The utility of the tool is versatile and return on tool cost is good for systems level corporation Pros Twin builder is a system level modelling tool for performance evaluation of large systems with multi-physics modelling capability. Twin builder is well integrated with other Ansys tools like Ansys Mechanical and Ansys Electromagnetic. The support for ROM models are available. The support for spice models, VHDL AMS, pspice, modellica etc. Cons The model parameters in library is vertical complex. If this features could be simplified for user it would be more user friendly.

Human Resources Generalist Hospital & Health Care ### "simulators that help you design and test internal human resources policies" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 March 24, 2022 I believe that it is the pertinent advantage to build, validate and implement simulation-based digital twins to obtain a final product that satisfies our decisions, despite that the coordination of both IT and HR areas is far from simple, at working in a crossroads of departments there is no guide capable of determining an adequate workflow. Pros Ansys Twin Builder, in my opinion, is a great tool for IT colleagues and HR departments alike. Cufflink models may be created in a matter of minutes because to its simple interface. Because of the app, the hospital's internal applications are progressing steadily forward. Cons The models have a favorable consistency for the internal development ideas that HR provide in the hospital, be it simple solutions to counting budgets, hiring new personnel and allowing advantages to be generated on time. It has a fairly wide compatibility with libraries but these lately give errors.

CIO Financial Services ### "validated simulation and perfect modeling" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 March 24, 2022 This type of simulation software is something we've used a lot, but for those just getting started, we think it's a great tool. However, despite the fact that our employer is a major corporation, we believe that it is capable of supporting a smaller company as well. Pros For designing, testing, and implementing simulation-based digital twins, it is an excellent option. Nevertheless, our IT and security team says that while learning the software takes time and is difficult for newcomers to grasp, our experience with it has allowed us to make prototypes and test theories that we can then apply to the financial market and networks where we work. Especially during testing to ensure the safety of consumer accounts. Cons There were programmatic expectations that we would be able to pull simulation data from one financial program and apply it in another program, but this was not the case. Right now, I believe it is critical to address this matter immediately. Alternatives considered [aPriori](https://www.capterra.com/p/162255/aPriori/) Reasons for choosing Ansys Twin Builder It seemed to me that the solutions that we required were so readily available to us that only the convenience of searching helped us meet our needs. as a result of which Review source Vendor Referred - Incentive Offered: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. AN Anonymous User Research Assistant Research ### "Overall Good Option" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 March 22, 2022 It is a good option to Build, Validate and Deploy Simulation-Based Digital Twins. But it takes time to learn and not easy for beginners to understand its functionality Pros The software offers the option of building your models and then the option to simulate these models to perform analysis Cons The issue is it requires an amount of time to learn how to integrate your tasks. It is hard to convince to use this software for the tasks due to it's difficulty for beginners Review source Vendor Referred - Incentive Offered: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Courtney M. Marketing Director Computer Games ### "a tool with various possibilities" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 March 14, 2022 For some time now we started with this wonderful tool, the 2d or 3d modeling necessary to give a broad vision to our designs facilitates the understanding of changes and errors that has been possible with the aforementioned tool, despite the short work time. we have been able to give it a usability that has sustained our expectations and objectives Pros There's no other provider of software capable of giving this combination of CFD accuracy with the speed of a 1D model, so I can contribute my understanding of LTI ROM, which I believe is the key to making everything possible. My marketing team allows us to examine community data on what people enjoy, so that our game engineers may acquire data and approve it along with the LTI ROM together. Cons The model export is difficult to generate for other software than Ansys. I believe this point is a huge waste of time because it is not even available to the developers on the team. The business could do better in this area.
