Hello guys,

Our company is about to buy FEA software for our inventor users. They are thinking either DesignSpace or Algor.

From a designer's stand point, can you guys tell me which do you think is a better product in terms of

1. CAD associativity with Inventor
2. Any other associated benifits or disadvantages of each package you might have noticed?

Your input will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Rob.
 
I've used both and I prefer DesignSpace. I think the interface is much easier to use. The wizards also help someone not familiar with the software walk thru setting up a model.
