I went out to the web page and looked at it and all the connected pages. There was not much information but there was a contact link. I used it and by return mail have received a 6 page pdf file. There is a lot more information in the e-mail than on the web pages. I may be reading it incorrectly but to me it says the base product is $5000 and the post processor needed to make it work is an additional $5000.
I've bought $5000 SW packages but they are very complete. Matlab with a couple of specialty packages costs $5000 but it does a lot of general work. When I was looking at Matlab there were thick user manuals to be reviewed, trail subscriptions and even college courses and seminars to help me decide I wanted to spend that much money. Maybe if I read the 6 pages more carefully I will be convinced that this is how I want to spend my money, but I expect I would try to write mine own code just to see how hard the task is, before I write a $10K check.
One of the subtitles that I picked up in my quick review is that the package includes a CAD package that is a required processing setup. I actually have used 3D CAD for a number of years and am familiar with the CETIA packages the current MEs use at work. Either of these systems has a steep learning curve and the idea of having to learn a third CAD package is not enticing.
