    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. I didn't use the geometry editing parts of the software, but it looks promising to be able to edit files directly in the program.

    CostPerform
    CostPerform is best suited for times where clients are looking to understand how their costs work within their business. A lot of the time, costs are not completely understood, or there are times where costs are allocated to the wrong items. This platform will allow for clients to more simply understand what their costs are used for

    Pros
    Altair Engineering, Inc.
    • 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.

    Cons
    Altair Engineering, Inc.
    • 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.

    When I needed clarification on how do use a feature or best way to define the constraints for a design problem, the response was quick and solved my needs.

    Alternatives Considered
    Altair Engineering, Inc.
    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.

    Working together, these platforms allow for a holistic view of costs and how they work within a business. Thought they are different, and function differently, CostPerform is the most user friendly
