FEA sofware's market distributiondistribution 1

[palex]

Does anyone has an idea of the distribution of the different sofwares in the FEA market??What part does each compagny holds??

Let's say for general purpose mid-level sofware, like algor, ansys, mscnastran, NeNastran, cosmos an any other that would fit in that category.

I know the numbers will vary depending of the location, so let's concentrate on either World situation or North America's situation

thanks

Tom,

That is a very thoughtful response! I was just about to say that question can not be answered because ABAQUS Inc. is privately held, but I like your approach.

Very inventive!
