(OP)
Just wanted to ask if anybody here has tried SimOffice and what they thought of it? I am looking at an under $10k commercial FEA application to install onto Windows Vista to run with Inventor and was recommended to SimOffice but I can't seem to find any reviews on it anywhere.

I heard about it a few years back and then it was mentioned as the successor to Patran. What I heard then was that is was so inmature that it was practically useless. But that was a few years back, perhaps it has changed. The only real information that I have seen is on MSC's own website.
If you are interested, why not ask MSC for a demo.

The version I saw (R2 I think) couldn't do what I wanted and so wasn't pursued. Of course I was told the next release was in Beta Test and would be wonderful.

Just out of curiosity, what did you want it to do?

The target markets are very different.

I wanted to create a geometry, meshing and solver for a specific product type. It could have done it but not at the standard I saw it. Cost was also a factor.
