ROBERT,

I USE ANSYS FOR STRESS SIMULATION OF SILICON SENSORS, RUNNING ON A SUN
WORKSTATION PLATFORM. ANSYS IS A VERY POWERFUL TOOL FOR THIS KIND OF ANALYSIS,
BUT HAS A STEEP LEARNING CURVE ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

THE WEST COAST ANSYS SALES OFFICE IS SUPPORTED BY SILVERADO SOFTWARE CO. IN
HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA. - TELEPHONE NUMBER : (714) 964-1552.

REGARDS,

Can anyone recommend a software tool for 2D or 3D stress simulation?
Thanks,
