    I am interested in Boiler designing. Can anybody here tell me which software is needed to know among Autocad, solidworks, CATIA, PRO E for my purpose? for the analysis part i think Ansys is must. Am i right?
    please help me out.

    I guess you should be able to use any CAD software of your choice to design the boiler.

    CAD is simply best

    Use solidworks and analysis it on ansys because solidworks is user-friendly and ansys is not much easy but it's analysis is too correct

    For 3D modelling:
    For basic 3D modelling you can choose any software. I've worked on Solidworks, CATIA and PRO-E (or Creo Parametric as it is now called I think) and all of them have pretty much the same basics.

    If the design isn't very complex then you can go for whatever software your college already has.

    However, I would recommend staying away from AutoCAD - even though it offers 3D it just doesn't offer the features that dedicated 3D modelling software offer.

    For analysis:
    Although ANSYS is a really powerful tool for analysis - it takes time to get used to and has a steep learning curve (not to mention incredibly expensive)!

    If you don't need ANSYS' power I would recommend using the built-in analysis tools in Solidworks, CATIA, etc. They should be able to do the job.

    I've worked on Solidworks and like it the best. It also has build-in analysis "workbenches" that allow you to test your design for various conditions.
