I like QCad _a_lot_ <http://www.ribbonsoft.com>; great for 2d, but no analysis.
But it runs on Solaris, Linux, and Windoze.
Siemens SolidEdge looks like a strong contender.

A free version is available to see if it would suit your needs. I don't know
what the full boat costs.
I haven't used any real stress analysis programs, so I can't comment.
