Here at PADT, we have been long time users of the SpaceClaim products, and big fans. This will certainly secure the focus of the SpaceClaim development team on continuing their work on providing simulation users with the tools they need to create, modify, and add intelligence to their geometry. The debate of DesignModeler vs. SpaceClaim seems to be settled!
