(OP)
I use ProE 90% of most days but I need to do structural analysis on occasion. What do you reccomend? Should be simple to learn, use and stay current in. I will have no real support to ask questions or interface with.





RE: part time fea
There are plenty of good FEA codes out there (and I'm somebody else will give a recommendation), but if you are only occassionally doing FEA work (and the mechanics complexity is fairly limited), your most important detail to buy a FE package will be the ease of going from your CAD to a mechanics model.
Either look at Mechanica, or else another FEA code which can integrate well with Pro/E.
