CATIA licenses which are the most expensive I've seen are roughly $600/month per user. Where are you seeing "thousands of dollars per seat"?


CATIA with plugins can go up to 100k a year. That’s what we currently pay


Wouldn't each plugin be a different piece of 'software'?


100k per seat? That's crazy. How do you even hire or train employees with software that expensive?


One guy retire and a college graduate goes in.


CFD might reasonably be considered part of CAD and something like ansys costs about as much as catia. Still only doubles it though.
