Our company evaluated Inventor, SE, and SolidWorks. We went with SolidWorks due to the following factors in our benchmark:
1) Ease of use during evaluation
2) More SW users in both our customer and supplier base
3) Legacy Data Maintainance (with the DWG Editor built in to SW)
4) e-drawings
5)...
I would like to thank everyone for the great information on my request.
Stanier - Thanks for the info on the Fracture Mechanics direction for the Thermoplastics I will ask our team to look into this for future analysis projects. We were looking for the SN Curves as the input in using Cosmos...
Have you checked out the Cosmos Works product?

It interfaces direct to SolidWorks so the CAD deisgn import is just a click away. I believe they have a version for Pro E as well....
Our engineers find this easy to use and cad...
Looks like you got alot of good feedback on this issue but just wanted to add one more possibility: titanium carboniteride TiCN coating for the Stainless steel
Hardness (HV 0.05): 4000 +/- 400
Friction Coefficient: 0.45
Good Luck,

Hey all,
I am new to this group and look forward to being an active member.
We are currently running an fatigue FEA analysis which we need the SN curve for a particular material (thermoplastic). The vendor of the material dont have this data (SN curve). Is there any source you know of that may...
