are right on target my thoughts exactly, but I am not sure they either
understand the full implications of this or if they are un-willing to make the
investment to model it, they are talking about a project involving literally
tens of thousands of man-hours. I suspect they have no real modeling
experience to give them a frame of reference. You cannot lead where you have
never been before.

just spoke with a possible client regarding a large job they need help with.
They have purchased the complete design of a manufacturing system (very
complex) from a foreign competitor, and must make modifications and translate
all the notes from a foreign language, and produce a complete set of prints
for a build to print design. There are tens of thousand's of ACAD 14 files to
redraw, and update. The client is almost insisting on 2D ACAD as the format,
they do not want to invest any more time in a single detail that is required,
(and they have a point they did purchase a functional design). Is there a real
case to be made for moving to inventor? Some of the design will have to
undergo a FEA review in full ANSYS as well, (last time I checked you still had
to create a model). How can this be justified in a manner the client can see,
(No smoke and mirrors allowed, they have an established track record with very
good man hour records for each assy and detail part and would compare after
the fact). I guess I was shocked at the scope of the project and the tools
they are using. I may not be able to change their mind but I want to at least
see the whole picture. Bottom line with those files in hand how do you re-do
the design and get them out the door in the fewest man-hours.
