Comparable Price to SW?
Comparable Price to SW?
(OP)
Hello,
Our business is looking to purchase a new solid modeling package. I've heard that SW and SE both are very comparable as far as function goes, but is SE close to the approximate $5,000-$6,000 that I can expect to spend on one seat of SW?
Thanks,
Zack

UG depends on the licensing bundle you get. You'll have to call on that one, but expect no less than $10,000.

You'd be lucky to get into the UG arena for less than $15K for a decent package to be well rounded. It'll also take you month's to learn and many days of wasted time for setup of all of different aspects of the package. I've used it for about 8mo now and still don't like to use the program. It's worse than Pro/E was 5 years ago.
I can't wait until our contract is up for this job and I can go back to using Edge.

UG is much easier to set up and customize. There are so many options that in Pro/E that have no documentation that it is a wonder anyone can even use the program. As for training, we trained our UG users in 1 week at CADPO adn they came back ready to work. With Pro/E, our basic training takes 12 days and then another 7 days advanced training. And that is without special modules like RSD, Cabling, Piping and Mechanica.
As for cost, you can get UG for less than $10K, but it won't do everything. A manufacturing bundle is $25K.
