ANSYS Computer Aided Engineering vs MSC PATRAN [EOL] comparison

For virtually any engineering simulation your design process needs, you can find a solution via ANSYS's comprehensive software suite. Thousands of organizations the world over have chosen ANSYS as the best software investment for engineering simulation projects.

Take your engineering simulation to a new level with simulation-driven ANSYS software simulation. No other software offers ANSYS's depth and breadth. With unequaled engineered scalability, a multiphysics foundation, and adaptive architecture, ANSYS software delivers more power and better results than other CAE tools. ANSYS software creates greater efficiency, drives innovation and reduces physical constraints so you can conduct simulated tests like never before.

Patran is the world's most widely used pre/post-processing software for Finite Element Analysis (FEA), providing solid modeling, meshing, analysis setup and post-processing for multiple solvers including MSC Nastran, Marc, Abaqus, LS-DYNA, ANSYS, and Pam-Crash.
