data, the report compares trends in two segments of the MCAD market: the
high-end and the mid-range, and presents an outlook for the market in the
future.

Key findings include:

-- think3 ranks #1 in revenue in Italy's MCAD market. This method places the most
accurate elements on the surface of the model where results are the highest
and utilizes tetrahedral elements for the interior of the model, thereby
providing the maximum combination of accuracy and solving speed. Beginning in 2002, ALGOR began adding full NASTRAN compatibility to
its software line.
