Reviews of Visual Components
Custoemr review
Comments: The Visual Components software itself is easy to use, and the visuals are beautiful, which enhances the impression of the movement of our designed products. The sales representatives at the Visual Components headquarters are also very kind and respond to questions in detail, so we can proceed with confidence. However, I feel that the service system within Japan is a challenge while we appreciate them.
Pros:
E Catalogue is very easy to understand and user-friendly. By utilizing the educational materials of Visual Components, one can understand the functions to a certain extent through self-study.
Cons:
I am using it in Japan, but the Japanese guides are not comprehensive. The service system in Japan is also insufficient, so I am forced to learn how to use it in English on my own
Alternatives Considered:
Feedack sum up
Comments: I like working with VC by realising different analysis, simulations, rendering, digital protoypes with one software. :)
Pros:
- Stability of software - The open VC-Framework for realise selfmade AddOns
Cons:
- VC is using an old .Net Framework and old Python version
Alternatives Considered:
Does less than we hoped
Pros:
Easily drop in Solidworks models and get a true sense of the layout vs. 2D AutoCAD. We purchased VR goggles so the user can be "dropped into" the cell to feel it out. We attended a training and it really helped us get up and going.
Cons:
Animating the cell takes more time invested than the reward reaped from seeing it animated. The data we need is better gathered from a 2D simulation vs. a 3D so that it is more accurate/exact. Also the female operator wears heels, has an inch of midriff showing, and a large chest - it is weird.
Powerful solution for production simulation
Comments: My overall experience with the program is very good. The basic functionality is pretty easy to learn and it still offers some powerful tools for creating simulations of the production process.
Pros:
It is easy to make simple concept layouts and simple material flow simulations. At the same time the program gives you the ability to create very complex and detailed simulations. Also the python API alows you to easely add aditional funcionality to the program and to create more complex simulations.
Cons:
Bad or missing documentation for some of the functionality mostly in the Python API
Strong DELFOI user and supporter
Comments: Great, cant waiting for the upgrades and enhancements to come through. Always looking forward to new functionality.
Pros:
The whole product is such a valuable addition to our digital manufacturing capability, allowing us to support our partners and member companies in the quest to improve and enhance their manufacturing capabilities.
Cons:
The software needs to be used constantly to maintain proficiency. More online video examples of functionality. More online training videos.
