Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
AGI STK
- STK is sold as a ladder of separate licences, STK Pro, STK Premium Air, STK Premium Space and STK Enterprise, so mission areas are gated behind different products
- Further capability is sold as separate add-on toolkits including TETK, the RF Channel Modeler and the STK Missile Toolkit
- Distributing an application built on STK Engine to end users requires each of them to hold an Ansys STK Engine Runtime License
- Free access is limited to students at accredited institutions and to time-limited trials
- No price, minimum or cost driver is published for any STK tier
