best design software

“The FreeForm Modeling Plus system is designed to interoperate with downstream CAD/CAM/CAE applications. It plugs into existing processes for moldbase design, mold filling analysis, NC programming and CNC machining, using a combination of NURBS and polymesh export data.”

no FEA or mold flow feature on website. but Alias doesnt either. i dont need it.

$30k is too expensive imo. simple drill @ 7hrs is to slow imo. some surfaces look too wavy. clean-up needed. or rebuild. no good example of consumer products. curtain rod end doesnt impress.
shell feature looks interesting. some other features look interesting. better than before. but just too expensive for what it does. i’ll buy z-brush for $400 and import the data.
