I already tried to convince them to convert to Unix once. I was told in addition to a conversion fee they would want my system to do the conversion on and some interest from other sites in their software under Unix. They did not want to support only one site. We simply wound up buying another Vax.

ANSYS comes from SWANSON Assoc. Gabriel DeSalvo (Vice President) (412)746-3304

Many of these mechanical design packages are real kludges with a lot of system dependent things. I suspect these companies have a lot of overhead in maintainence so be prepared to put out many $$.
