I tried Alibre and found it a bit unintuitive, but I didn't spend much time on it so I can't say much. eMachineshop is awesome. For simple CAD work it's perfect. Nothing beats SW, though. If you go for SW Student make sure to get it with COSMOS so you can do full tests on it. I can't help you with the equation, but you can do FEA tests on the computer to help optimize your pattern.
