Well, I guess there aren't many Mech Engineers here who are looking to keep their skills up-to-date then. If there are, then how do you personally afford the four-figure license fees for Ansys, AutoCAD, Soldworks, Pro-Engineer etc to keep your skills up-to-date?
I'm nottalking about using them as productivity tools, just in terms of maintaining familiarity and assimilating new features. And please don't tell me that you work within the demo limitations (eg 100 nodes limit for models) - I mean, really!
