How to Evaluate FEA Software

In the old days a software supplier might have actually charged you for a demonstration or evaluation of their software. Today you can often evaluate software or have software vendors help you solve real-world problems at minimal or no cost.

If you need a more in-depth evaluation perhaps a consultant will be your best bet. Consultants understand the software and your application. If you explain upfront that you are trying to evaluate software as well as solve a design problem then the consultant can be sure to go into some detail as to the methods used as well as the solutions.

 Can you clearly state where you need help? This may take some soul searching. You may have to admit some weaknesses or lack of understanding.

  The best way to do this may be to look at molds that have been particularly difficult to design or build, or worse yet ones that have had problems. One of the shortcomings with this approach is that if you have designed good tools based on your experience or there have not been significant problems, you may not understand how you could have done better.

 In evaluating software it is important that you see your actual problems solved as well as see a typical canned demo. The generic demo can help you understand the breadth of the product capabilities and a more detailed demonstration will help you understand how to solve your real-world problems.
