Materials can be found with a very straightforward explorer or if you are not sure of the material you are looking for you can have Ansys find it for you, depending on your search parameters. For example, if you know your material should withstand a certain stress, temperature of operation, elongation limit, electrical/thermal conductivity, stiffness, etc. you can have Ansys give you options with those attributes. Material indices are available which simplify searches, Ashby graphs for comparisons between your prospect materials, you can also search in terms of manufacturing processes if you have a manufacturing restriction, so your material search is compatible with the process. It is great. > > **Cons**: I have not found any negative attributes for this software, the only thing I could say is that the library may be very extensive and searching at first may be overwhelming but with few hours of use and tutorials provided by the creator you can handle the software with ease. > > Granta Selector is a must for any mechanical designer, or any type of designer. Ansys Selector is the gateway to make your abstract thoughts into tangible creations. A great idea can massively fail if the material is not the appropriate one. That is why you need Granta Selector to maximize the potential of your creations. ----- ### "For Designers" — 4.0/5 > **Turan** | *4 September 2019* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Direct Modeling, Easy of use. Part programming and automation > > **Cons**: There is not fundamental cons. Some functionalities need improvents like drawting etc ----- ### "Spaceclaim Review" — 4.0/5 > **Hanna** | *9 August 2018* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that this software has features that allows for easy deletion of model parts. With other modeling software I have used in the past, problems arise when a component is changed or deleted. This software does not have this issue because it is not as strict. It is user friendly and easy to learn. > > **Cons**: I don't like certain aspects of this software, the mating in the assembly section is sub-par. I also do not like that you have to undo a bunch of steps to change a component of the part being modeled. > > Overall, the software is good but I prefer other software with better assembly features. ----- ### "Easiest CAD software. But limited." — 4.0/5 > **ARAVINDA** | *21 July 2020* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of learning and implementing. Probably the easiest CAD software in the market. > > **Cons**: Not history based. Creating variations of a design is difficult. > > Its a great software for quickly visualizing a part/assembly. But I need to create many variations of the designs as I am in full time development, which was not easy with this software. ----- ### "Simplest, easiest to use direct modeler with compatibility to all other mainstream CAD tools" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 February 2018* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: SpaceClaim is so easy to use, even a lowly manager with no recent design experience can utilize it to produce rudimentary designs in record time. Direct modeling, and the ability to import from a wide range of CAD tools, as well as export in many of those same formats, makes reuse of existing designs a snap. With four basic sets of commands, almost anything you can imagine can be layed out in at least a preliminary state for your 'real' designers to complete using the tool of their choice. Or better yet, they can use SpaceClaim to finish the design in an extremely short time. > > **Cons**: The interface and command set is so simple, I always feel like I am missing something. If you can't think in 3D, this my not be the tool for you. Drafting is NOT a strong suit, because SpaceClaim is all about design. > > The most 'non obvious' benefit was the ability to import a CAD file from multiple sources and save back out as a JT file in different JT standard release formats. This is FAR simpler than using many of the various translation tools we have to translate from CAD to a neutral format to JT. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/197081/ansys-granta-selector?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/197081/ansys-granta-selector) ## 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 | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
