Just having a look through the specs for Alibre and the specs for FEA.

The specs all only mention FEA for single part designs. Is there an additional module for FEA on assemblies? And how much is the add-on?

Sorry if its shown somewhere but I couldnt seem to find anything :)

Also between the three 3D packages that caddit sells - Alibre, T-Flex and VariCAD which would you consider best for capital machine design such as assembly machines (eg pick and place machines), robotic grippers, conveyors etc?

Being able to import autocad and solidworks drawings is of prime concern as well.
