    ansys

    Ansys is not a shareware nor a freeware software. Contact the company to find your closest ditributor (they might be nice enough to give you a valuation copy) if not venture to any university campus and you'll find someone happy to make you a pirated copy!

    Getting rid of zero's in cells that have formulas

    I usually wrap it up with an If statement, A better a cleaner way it to do the whole thing in VBA, where your function or formula is copied down only when extra data is given. i-e you get a Y result only is an X is supplied.

    Switching from 2D to 3D in Mechanical Desktop 5.0

    Sorry, MD5 makes it easy to go from 3D to 2D, but not the other way round. You'll have to model it from scratch; or ask for your 2D drawings to be sent digitally in 3D... Best of Luck...
