I am trying to convince my employers to upgrade from SW to Inventor, for reasons too numerous to mention. Are there any Inventor users on this forum in a similar business, we do laser design, mostly DOD, some commercial. This requires very large assembly models, and analysis tools that simply don't exist for SW. Any information on add-ons specific to the laser industry, or success stories with Inventor, will strengthen my case for switching to Inventor.
 
Have you looked at the premium version of SolidWorks? that has alot of very good analysis tools in and some large assembly tools too. There is also a very high end optical analysis/simulation tool available as an add on for SW called Optis Works. Where are you located in the world? UK or USA? I have used optis works before and it is very good. let me know if you want some more information because i could go on forever!

Cheers
