Is Ansys Workbench good for Analysis

[courghan]

Hi there,

i have to perform a buckling and creep analysis of a wood and plastic composite product. I was wondering if ansys workbench (9.0) produces reliable results or if it si still better using the multiphysics product. I think workbench is easier to use as i am a starter in the FEM analysis field.
I hava access to both products.

Thanks for your help.

I used the multiphysics version during my MS, i definitely
vote for it over the workbench. It is also better if you run into non linear systems.

Thanks a lot for your advices guys...i am actually thinking about ABAQUS, i saw it and it seems quite powerful and easy to use. I have to medel a fibre reinforced polymer....so i have to evaluate which code gives the most reliable results..

Personally, I like SolidWorks much better.

This is subjective though, like asking someone which beer he prefers to drink. Some like Bud, some like Molson. Whatever, the end result is the same.
