Hey everybody,
My company islooking into picking up some FEA software. Right now we are just using Cosmos Express but we are thinking of trying ANSYS Professional, mechanical or structural (not sure which product is best for us yet). Any one use any of these? Hows it stack up against full cosmos (I haven't used cosmos before but others here who have said they weren't impressed.) How's it really work with Solidworks, I hear that in the new version 11 you can do a direct import but before you had to create an IGES. I'd be interested in and appreciate any opinions anyone has. I have been trying to look up customer reviews on-line but I haven't found any yet.
FYI we'd be using it to analyze suspension systems...Some systems will be cable based and others with be frame based.
