## Reviews

### "One of the best Mechatronic motion control software" — 5.0/5

> **Waleed** | *23 July 2019* | Research | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 1. Easy to use with good tutorials.
2. Connectivity to MathWorks Simulink enables fully integrated mechatronics motion control and analysis.
3. Easy to monitor stresses coming from applied forces in real-time simulation.
> 
> **Cons**: 1. No APIs for modern mechatronic software like National Instruments LabVIEW or MATLAB scripting.
2. Mating issues when Importing assemblies from popular mechanical software like SolidWorks.
3. Exported models to SolidWorks do also have mating issues.
> 
> I used SimWise 4D to simulate a robotic arm maintaining a gripped payload. The simulation results were very accurate and having the ability to communicate with Simulink had the best experience of testing different algorithms. The drawback was the limitation of Simulink and the need to carry a lot of backend coding in order to add MATLAB scripting.

### "SimWise 4D is a great product." — 4.0/5

> **Abhijit** | *28 September 2022* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Seamless integrated Motion Sim + FEA to compute the stresses resulting from dynamic loads.
Well maintained integration with many CAD software including Alibre Design.
> 
> **Cons**: I feel the price is very high for Independent Contractors.
> 
> Simwise4D is an amazing product which gives simultaneous Motion+FEA capabilities.
It's a tool that assists me with almost every project.
The software is easy to get acquainted with, the CAD integration works like a charm and SimWise definitely helps me solve problems that save me and my clients a lot of work and investment.

### "Need some more straightforwardness" — 2.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *7 May 2018*
> 
> **Pros**: Very promising software that create extremely accurate simulation and can be used in a lot of fields
> 
> **Cons**: This software need some more straightforwardness, it took a lot of actions to have a same result than other programs

-----

### "Bad user experience" — 2.0/5

> **John** | *9 February 2017*
> 
> I evaluated the software and I Was very dissapointted.
The software needs a lot of clics in order  to do the actions.
When the simulator  finds problems in the calculation, you have to restarte the software because it gets mad.
