About

Alibre Design is a 3D modeling, analysis, manufacturing documentation, rendering, and publishing platform. It is used in every industry to take products from idea to revision to production. It can help your business to design everything from consumer products to wind turbines. An efficient and customizable user interface that lets you work like you want with helpful hints. A fast and precise sketching environment that captures design intent and makes changes easy. Robust and fully parametric 3D modeling tools and easy workflows speed up part creation. A dedicated sheet metal environment with tools just for sheet good design and easy flat pattern creation. A dedicated sheet metal environment with tools just for sheet good design and easy flat pattern creation. An automatically generated bill of materials that supports design data, physical properties, and dimensions.

About

Ansys BladeModeler software is a specialized, easy-to-use tool for the rapid 3D design of rotating machinery components. Ansys BladeModeler is used to design axial, mixed-flow and radial blade components in applications such as pumps, compressors, fans, blowers, turbines, expanders, turbochargers, inducers and more. Ansys BladeModeler is integrated with Ansys DesignModeler to deliver complete 3D geometry modeling capabilities and allow any number of geometric features, such as hub metal, blade fillets, and cut-offs and trims to be added. Blade designs can be combined with other non-bladed components, like housings, blade roots or complex 3D tip regions. These non-bladed components can be created directly or imported using CAD connections to all major CAD vendors without limits on the designs that can assembled and assessed. You can choose the level of geometric detail for your analysis.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to learn. Basic modeling is okay. Surface modeling is included but not worthy to touch. Basic assemblies is okay. Complex modeling (More than 300 parts) will slow down your system and crashes are to expect.

Cons

  • Support denies bugs and will first blame the user. 1.400 Euro instead of the "one time price of 169 USD" stated on this website. Outdated Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing and for that reason not according the ISO standard. Hidden bugs. For example (may 2021) when assigning materials ones from your own library and then again from the Alibre library, your whole part naming in your assembly will be corrupt. And yes, support denies and is not helping here.
