Hi,
What would be best software combination for FEA of an assembly consisting of carbon/epoxy/honeycomb core monocoque with alu bulkheads and potted hardpoints. Tubular subframes and various brackets bolted to composite structure. Monocoque may have non uniform lay-up i.e. additional ply's or C/F tape in critical areas, lap joints etc.

Main criteria’s:
Capability to import relatively complex assembly from CAD (SolidWorks)
Exceptional capabilities to model composites – draping etc.
Easy to use/user friendly, intuitive interface a

It doesn’t matter if it will be a combination of more than/two packages.

You opinion/advise is highly appreciated.

Thank you

Adrian
