I'd say i'm good at solidworks (dont really do much analysis in it though, more surfacing for injection moulding parts, and sheetmetal bits), photoshop and illustrator.

 

And can use 3dsmax (vray), proE and NX alright, and play around with Flash/Dreamweaver, premiere/aftereffects but not a whole lot

 

I'm a product design engineer, so am generally using one or more of these apps every hour at work...yep, professional cad monkey

I originally used to do drafting with special devices called "ink pens" and a drafting table...museum pieces now..

I started on autocad version 3..

 

[waxhead]

I teach solid edge during working hours

On weekends i work with alot of engine management systems

 

[Mr Camouflage]

I'm a Web Developer/Programmer. PHP and Database stuff mostly. Not really helpful in the automotive field.

[sexual_sushi]

I know Photoshop inside out. Mainly work on retouching photos but I have done some 2d/3d compositing and texture work.

 

I did a communication design degree so I know a little bit about most creative products like flash, after effects, etc

[PZG302]

Not so much automotive,

 

But in  previous life have used Bentley Microstation, and Microstation with Focus, a HFC network design tool.

 

When I was on the drafting boards have used Autocad and Land development Desktop in conjunction with specialist GPS and Surveying software packages associated with the Total stations I was using.

 

Now mainly use MapInfo, and will more than likely be starting to use ESRI GIS products as more of my clients move from MapInfo to ESRI.

im studying drafting at tafe atm and i used autocad throughout school, so im good with AutoCAD, ok with 3d AutoCAD, fiddled around with 3ds max, great with sketchup (dont laugh, if you put the time in you can do some really good stuff easily), ok with photoshop, good with GIMP, good with Flash and ill have to teach myself revit so i can get a job in the industry soon.

[stevo_gj]

I'm good with Solid Edge and Solidworks, I'm learning Inventor. I've also learned the FEA package Strand7.

 

Oh and I'm a unreal with Ms Paint, see my attached drawing of sexual_sushi's car.

[sexual_sushi]

hahahahahahaha mad skills steve. I didn't know I owned a VW beetle

[Aaron Neubauer]

We have licences for AutoCAD 2006 through to 2010 as well as revit 2008 through to 2010 in the office. Revit 2010 is one serious step up from revit 2009. I don't draft, but have enough knowledge to do the mediocre tasks, drafties don't like it when an engineer plays with the drawings! Lol

 

We use spacegass for finite element analysis, it's a structural package not a mechanical package ie. doesn't do surface stresses or thermal work. It's does "stick and plate" type analysis which I have used for car trailer design and rough roll cage checks (out of work hours of course ) 

 

No idea if it's helpful to anyone else but I have found handy....
