Finite elements analysis

Hi!

I'm currently searching for finite element analysis and modeling software (FEA, FEM) for Mac OSX. I know there where several solutions for OS 9. Is there any usable software available for Mac OSX? If not, will such software run fast enough on Virtual PC?

Also, is there a viable alternative no MS excel for some simple FEA analysis (simple matrix operations)?

I don't mind using X11, but OpenOffice isn't better than excel, especially when you consider the launch time of the application and X11.

By the way, what other engineering software is available for Mac? I know of Mathematica, Maple, Vectorworks, Matlab, e-Drawings...

Thanks

    You can start here. I will call your attention to an obscure search engine called Google. Perhaps, you should look into it.

    like 3 years ago, Ansys posted a survey at ansys.com about porting their software to Macos X, but still no ansys running in a mac , too bad.



    it would be cool to run ansys in a mac
