Actran - Very useful software application

The flexibility makes it easy to use, as I'm used from other programs such as NX V10 or Maya for 3D modeling and animation! It has been an invaluable program in my job so far, with many different models that need detailed analysis before finalizing them. There are some things to improve like stability when using more complex models and meshes but overall everything works great. Flexibility was one big benefit of this product over its competition at the time (Meshing Tools). This allows me to…

Pros
  • Great software where engineers do work together seamlessly across departments
  • CAD managers , FEA specialists etc., making our engineering department run smoothly; ease of access between team members who never meet face2face during normal business days
Cons
  • There are nuances

Very good software and useful tool thanks

I like that it can be used for very simple models, as well has complex ones with many different elements (more than 50). The user interface could use some improvements in terms or simplicity but this does not affect its functionality at all! Use actrans if you need an easy way out when dealing simulating acoustics problems related to your industry/field work area; there are lots features available which make things easier by providing more accurate results while keeping everything within reach

Great tool if your looking mainly into soundproof engineering

Easy interface, can be used with any 3D modeling application (SketchUp or SolidWorks). The results are very good for small structures like pipes and valves, but I have not been able to use it directly in large projects yet because there may be some issues when dealing with larger models. If you want an easy way to model piping flows then this will give you what you need without too much hassle. Pipe acoustics analysis has become easier thanks to actran. Thanks to its ease of usage we could…

Pros
  • It is simple enough that anybody who knows how things should look would feel safe using them straight away;It looks great even if compared against industry competitors such as ANSYS
  • CFX/ANSA
Cons
  • None
