    I have previously used the Femap pre-processor with Nastran Solver in commercial applications and loved it. Very user friendly.

    You could also look at Cosmos and Ansys.

    Also the mid range 3D cad systems such as Solid Works and Solid Edge come with basic fea capabilities. SW now comes with basic flow analysis too.

    ANSYS. Increasingly using Ansys Workbench rather than the 'classical' version.

    I would like the ability to make progress with learning more about FEA/FEM and only a few days ago stumbled upon CAELinux.The price is unbeatable and the demo worth watching.
