I've been using HFSS software for almost 5 years now, I design Antennas, filters, and RF-related stuff using this software. This is so user-friendly software and can be learned so quickly, a powerful solver for 3D simulations. The accuracy of the simulated results is very good. HFSS documentation is excellent, it includes every detail of the features in the software. The parametric setup in this software is so powerful. The design examples and the documentation included in this software helped me a lot to understand some concepts . > > **Cons**: The cost of the software is too expensive. I've faced one issue with this software so far, the simulated results are not so accurate when I use high-dielectric materials (DK\>10) in my designs, also it takes lots of time to simulate large structures, apart from this I have nothing to dislike. ----- ### "Good ROI with Ansys HFSS" — 5.0/5 > **Kunal** | *8 February 2022* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is very good for Antenna related problems. The accuracy of S parameters are very good compared to other software. The latest feature of mesh fusion using HFSS component is very useful in solving large scale problems in EMC or SI. Integration with current business process is not very easy due to time gap when problems are discovered. > > **Cons**: Fast solvers are required for sparse matrix manipulation and speed up the simulation. Script work flow for emc simulation would be highly effective for integrating with hardware design process. The need for fit to use virtual laboratory of emc analysis would be very useful in virtual prototyping of design processes. > > I work on EMC , SI and PI problems. I use HFSS 3D layout to analyse PCB level SI PI problems and Ansys HFSS 3D for system level EMC Analysis. I find it useful in using analysis at several levels to do quick what if analysis at several levels. However it is yet to reach at per the expectations of system level EMC analysis of very large structures such as an electric vehicle. ----- ### "Ansys HFSS Review" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *19 June 2023* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: GUI, Interface, Easy to use, Documentaion. > > **Cons**: License are bit costly and installation takes lot of time. > > Overall i recommend Simulation Engineers to use Ansys HFSS ----- ### "EM Simulation with time and money saving" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 April 2022* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The tool is very suitable for performing close to real performance EM Simulation. The help section os very great. The documentation is like spoon feeding the beginners. Report generation is very simple for the simulation results. This software offers a lot of flexibility. The features are great as compared to competitors. > > **Cons**: The software GUI needs an update and looks outdated. The video section still needs additions. The area of bi-static radar cross section is not discussed in details in help and documentation of the tool. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1024442/ansys-hfss?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1024442/ansys-hfss) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
