Machine/Structural Design
(OP)
What softwares are best suited in machine and structural designs wherein shear, moment, deformation and other reactions are automatically computed when loads are given? Can these same softwares recommend material (type, dimensions, points of support) when the allowable deformation, loads, and other reactions are given?
RE: Machine/Structural Design
For model and assembly creation you should have a CAD software and for analysis of structure you must have a FEA software.
There are too many CAD softwares such as: Pro/Engineer, Pro/Desktop, CATIA, UG, SolidWorks, I-Deas, AutoCAD Inventor, CADKEY and many more.
Name of some FEA software is as: COSMOS/M, ANSYS, Nastran, Pro/Mechanica, FEMAP, Algor etc.

p.s. This is not a paid endorsement. I was just very impressed with these guys, and did a lot of comparison by myself.
RE: Machine/Structural Design
Does anyone else use CADKEY or do they keep producing it just for us?
