I don't know exact pricing, but I would guess that Catia would go for anywhere between $US6,000-$US10,000 for basic modelling capability and Pro/Engineer for around $US5,000... Training is an additional cost. If you are not experienced with this type of functionality, training is essential and you'd need about a week's training to learn the basics.
