We've been using Cosmos Designer in SWX environment for almost a year now and I feel that we need more capable FEA program. Products for which we need to run FEA are in the door hardware category and the 'answers' we're looking for are like impact (slamming of the door) strength, using plastic components (non linear materials), fatigue and standard analysis. I've looked at CosmosWorks Professional Advanced (on Cosmos website) and although it seems to have it all (if 'drop' equals impact) but also has a lot of stuff which we don't need and quite steep price tag. I would appreciate your suggestions of other FEA programs that fit the bill. TIA Eric
