In my dreams, there would be a CAD package for OS X that is just like VectorWorks but would also include fininte element analysis that is easy to use for non-scientific types like me. I imaginge Altivec-enhanced CATIA for X on a dual-Gig G4 Power Mac would attract some serious engineers, even though they have traditionally stuck with workstations and Windows. So I would rather not see it on the Mac.ĬATIA is heavy duty workstation software, but with OS X's BSD UNIX underpinnings, it may be a great candidate for porting.
On the other hand, AutoCAD is really a junky piece of software, from what little I understand.
One one hand AutoCAD is so widespread on the Wintel side that it would be nice to have it on OS X for the easiest possible file exchange. I've used VectorWorks for designing hot air balloons, but obviously without any structural analysis.Īrchitosh featured an AutoCAD for X petition a while ago. As a non-engineer, I know relatively little about serious CAE programs.
