Looks like you guys are in luck. AutoCAD Mechanical 2006 (Shipped with the AutoDesk Package) includes a chain length calcuator, area moment of inertia calculator and, most importantly, a finite element analyzer (W00+!). Apparently there's also a screw and fastener creator, but i've only managed to get 2D with that so far.
The changes are due to the fact that AutoDesk is unifying the ever-popular AutoCAD with their Mechanical Desktop software to create one VERY nice package. As an added bonus, it's now possible to import and export Inventor assemblies!
