Mechanical Advantage

[Donnis]

Hello everybody!
Anybody know if there is a demo or shareware version of Mechanical Advantage (software for complex tolerance analysis)?
Thanx in advance.

Does this software work on it's own? Or can it work with SolidWorks? Looks like to me I draw sketches in Mech Adv, but can not move into SolidWorks.

Sorry - never tried it!

Good Luck

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

You're right, you can download the complete (full) version of MA from that site, but it will not function without a license! My question was if there are other possibilities (functional demo version).
Thanks anyway for your answers!

Have you asked the company for a demo license?

Anybody know, if there is another software (like Mechanical Advantage) for complex tolerance analysis, based on a parametric sketcher ?

I recently got an e-mail ad for a product called ToleranceCalc from IMSI. Details here:

I have no idea if this is what you are after, or whether it even compares with Mechanical Advantage, but at $95, it should satisfy the "cheap" criterion!

ToleranceCalc may very well be a fine (and cheap) program, but they do not offer a trial version. As far as cheap and effective goes, there is an excellent Excel-based program called MITCalc. They offer a trial license and full registration is an obscenely low $29.
