hi. i want to design complex shapes, and then send them to some manufacturers. so my drawings need to be very accurate, and compatible with the manufacturers.
plus, it would be nice to have the ability of being able to test how structurally strong my design is. e.g. how well it supports loads, and where are the pressured points, etc. a piece of extra information in case it helps: my 1st project has to do with car parts. thoughts on what to use? should i use autocad? else? how should i think? any tips? notes: - i'm on linux. - i'm not a very RMS-moral person. rgrds, cm.
