Ansoft Designer vs все остальное, Кто чего скажет о моделировании систем? Опции

[Lonesome Wolf]

Дошли у меня руки до моделирования чего-то вроде радара. Пока чисто прикидочное. Думаю составить схемку из блоков, соединил - и поехали. Дома у меня машинка слабенькая, винт маленький - вот поставил Ansoft Designer v. 2.0 (350 метров или чего -то в этом роде). Ткнулся - набрал простенькую системку - заработало вроде без усилий особых с моей стороны. Но вот решил поспрашивать - может кто имеет опыт моделирования радиочастотных систем в этом пакете - стоит ли по серьезному влазить? Или предпочесть нечто иное?

Спасибо заранее.
