I think a common opinion is that the CFD/FEA vendor will come in and "mess up" the system. To me, put them to the test. They should be able to come in and fully adapt to your current process.

If so, then you should be able to adopt the analysis modeling philosophy seamlessly into your process, not create a completely separate foreign process. Well said..
