My engineering shop is moving from AT's to Suns (hoorah!). They have a
FEA package running on an AT, used daily, cost them $500 (with edu
discount); they'd like to run FEA on the Sun instead, for obvious reasons
of speed and model size, but their pet vendor said a license for the Sun
package would be $20,000 list, $10,000 to us. They cried a lot.
Does anyone know what's available in the FEA line for Sun 4 / Sun 3, and
what one expects to pay for a modest mech-engineering type FEA package?
Is $20,000 really industry-average? Are there any PD products from the
techie schools? Thanks -- better mail to me directly as this is kind of
special-interest.
