I'm using the Altair program.
Hyperworks, Inspire, SimLab, SimSolid.
I don't know the pros and cons of these four programs

Can you tell me which part is better?

    Very briefly:

    HyperWorks >> very complete tool, for general purpose FE modeling, many different platforms supported. Targeted for people with some basic knowledge up to advanced CAE users.

    Inspire >> quick and easy, and intuitive, includes many different solutions (structural, optimization, motion,...), but with some limited options compared to the other tools. It has a couple geometry sketching tools, and can provide geometric changes. Can use FEA or SimSolid basic solver.

    SimLab >> 3D tetra mesh, best-in-class. Supports different platforms, and solvers. Very automated and high quality mesh. Allows multi-disciplinary studies as well (CFD, structural, eMag,...)

    SimSolid >> meshless structural analysis, super-fast, direct over your CAD geometry, no need of mesh, nor geometry simplification. Very quick to setup, and run the analysis, with accurate solution. Quick decision making, and able to run multiple proposals extremely fast.
