Cost is simple, request a quote to each vendor with the options you need and compare them. Remember that you can always discuss the quote and they might be able to help you if they are above your budget. I would also suggest that you ask each vendor for a demo license so that you can spend some time looking at each SW package. Use an example that corresponds to the type of stuff you will be working on. You are lucky, in the current business situation having money to buy new SW allows you to get some good deals. Take advantage of that. -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sanjay G Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 12:16 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] HFSS or CST Hello I have the option of buying either HFSS or CST.
