Ive been a hardcore Solidworks user since the beginning (1997). Over the past couple of years Ive noticed a degradation in the usability of the Solidworks product. Having been spoiled by the ealier years of Solidworks development, where enhancements were just that enhancements, Ive noticed that each new release seem to break (usability, large assembly performance, PDM, Motion, etc.) more than they fix. In any case, Ill be test driving Autodesk Inventor this summer, base on one simple fact R&D investment. Ive reviewed the Annual Report for Solidworks and Autodesk. Autodesk invested $576.1 million in R&D for 2009, where i expect 65% ($374.4 million) was used for development of engineering applications. The Autodesk R&D budget is equal to the total revenue of the Solidworks product lines. Dessault spent approximatly $500 million on R&D, but I estimate the lions share went to improving PLM (corporate focus) as opposed to the main stream CAD product line (Solidworks). Based on revenue percentates I estimate the R&D budget of Solidworks at $100 Million, or 1/4 what Autodesk is investing in the market. Lastly, the tone of each Annual Report says even more. Dessault Systems is focus on its PLM product line which is probably where most of its R&D budget is directed. On the other hand, Autodesk is focused on their applications (AutoCAD, Inventor, Maya, 3DMAx, etc.). If these trends continue at each company, I expect Inventor, as well as other Autodesk products to grab significant MCAD market share based on improving the robustness and usability through R&D investment.

What a surprise, a guy who makes assumptions about topics he knows nothing about, based on absolutely no facts, agrees with Jon!

Heaven forbid someone should actually evaluate the program and base their decision on how it performs for them. |
