Ansys Discovery

Pros

İts effective for simple predesign and userfriendly

Cons

You can not complex simulation. It can be improve

Pros

I like the powerful and capabilities that are built into the software.

Cons

I think the price is one of the cons when you come to chose a simulation software

Pros

With the proper and appropriate hardware, you can obtain a solution significantly faster than conventional solution methods by leveraging the power of GPUs, even older ones. For simple problems (i.e. single parts and/or basic external vehicle aerodynamics), it is very easy to set up.

Cons

I'll give what I think are opportunities for improvements based on domain.

Static structural - does not handle multiple parts/complex assemblies very well. Does not/cannot model non-linear contacts. Does not/cannot simulate non-linear materials. Defining and applying custom materials is sometimes quite cumbersome.

Fluids - Cannot extract important engineering values from the fluid simulation, e.g. coefficient of drag/coefficient of lift from the external aerodynamics example. Cannot select other turbulence models. (Last I inquired, you can ONLY use the LES turbulence model, which is invalid for certain types/classes of analyses.) Cannot model air as an ideal gas (compressible flow solver). Cannot define point heat sources.

Direct modelling/manipulation - if you have a part with defined dimensions (part from print), it is quite cumbersome to reproduce the part using the direct manipulation method. Direct manipulation method is great when you are trying to experiment with new designs and you are trying to figure out which design will work best, but if you are trying to test/verify an existing design and you don't have the original/source CAD part, which requires you to re-model it in Ansys Discovery Live/SpaceClaim, it's ridiculously complicated to create, for example, a dimension that is symmetrical/mirrored.

Topology optimisation - Sometimes the result from the topology optimisation does not pass the FEA analysis.

Pros

Discovery offers us a fast, live, accurate early simulation. Discovery has a complete end-to-end workflow from modeling to refined simulation.

Cons

It requires high-end hardware requirements in order to get a smooth experience

Pros

Ansys Discovery is a powerful Tool which is capable of creating 3D Models simulations and Analysis of different structures and designs

Cons

The thing that i don't like is that there are many CAD/CAE and simulation software in the market that provide better features at a low price
