    Ansys SpaceClaim

    Score10 out of 10
    N/AAnsys SpaceClaim is presented as a modeling solution for engineers who want access to 3D answers but don't have the time or inclination to learn complex traditional CAD systems. It provides tools to accelerate geometry preparation and get to simulation sooner while eliminating delays between design teams. SpaceClaim's tools help free designers and analysis to focus on simulation results by accelerating the geometry creation process. Edit, repair and create any geometry…N/A

    NX CAM

    Score8.1 out of 10
    N/ANX CAM provides NC programming capabilities that enables the use of consistent 3D models, data and processes to connect planning and shop floor operations with a digital thread. It is used to streamline and automate NC programming, while reducing cycle time using application-specific tools.

    I will highly recommend Ansys SpaceClaim, or in fact any Ansys to my colleague because of its wide spread acceptability around the globe and around the different industries. Thus, the results provided by Ansys simulation tools, given the proper boundary conditions are properly simulated, are highly reliable. Also, learning to utilize Ansys tools in the engineering design activities also helps in career advancements.

    Pros
    Ansys
    • It efficiently divide/split the surface into multiple fragments as per the user's requirements which helps in easy application of loads and boundary conditions.
    • It helps in reducing the model complexity with it's efficient defeaturing options in order to reduce the model complexity.
    • It also helps in making quick model changes as per the simulation results in order to improve the design and thus helps in quick FEA of the improvised design.

    Cons
    Ansys
    • With time, Ansys SpaceClaim has evolved so much in its functionality and Ansys has added so many useful and complex features into it, but most of the team member are not aware about those features.
    • For the newly added features and improvement in legacy features, Ansys can try adding training videos to better aware the engineers about their evolving features.
    • Apart from that, I don't find anything disadvantageous about SpaceClaim.

    Usability
    Ansys
    As a Mechanical Design Engineer working in and designing heavy structures for battery packs and chargers, I use Ansys SpaceClaim, day in and day out regularly as whenever the design team forwards the CAD model to FEA team, FEA team optimizes the model in SpaceClaim only, and to do so, design team also helps them in Ansys SpaceClaim

    For the FEA analysis, PTC Creo, which is a CAD modelling software has inbuilt FEA simulation tool called as Creo Simulate which we generally use a very quick FEA on smaller parts. But when the geometry is very complex and we need to simplify it before the simulation, then we use Ansys SpaceClaim to simplify the model and then use Ansys Mechanical for structural simulation.

    Powermill did not use model associativity or parametric so was not easy to respond to design changes but was good at toolpath strategies and collision avoidance

    Return on Investment
    Ansys
    • Ansys SpaceClaim helps in easy modelling different types of design and different iterations of design which in turns helps in designing a cost effective products thereby saving a lot of material and production cost.
    • Because of the easiness in modelling, changing and modifying the design and then running the simulation over it, the design team is able to test and every concept, which I turn helps in producing an efficient and cost effective design.

    • Good product for us to resell
    • Sells itself due to nice integration within the digital twin bigger picture
