Many programs can import dxf files, but that leaves you with a fair amount to do.
I wouldn't worry too much about these integrated FEAs, an uncorrelated FEA model is about as much use as scribbled equation on the back of a fag packet.

So the real question is, how can you import real world test results into whatever package so that you can get an idea of how good your model is? You won't be using a CAD package.

I've also recently become aquainted with Roshaz (Roshaz), which has an integrated linear solver and several file export formats. It fits your budget and, depending on what you are trying to do exactly, may be a good fit for your needs.
