We want to do linear static, Steady state heat flow and simple dynamics. What is the best FEA package in terms of accuracy, design time and support.

I suggest you choose COSMOS.
Firstly,it is enough for your.
Secondly,I have ever read a paper writing to contrast COSMOS and DesignSpace, and it shows that in many cases the later may make more errors than the former.

hgl is right and COSMOS is cheaper compared to other FEA packages.But for non-linear analysis it is not so robust.
