Ah, and you have such a nice employer ... : Nasa's NASTRAN solves such
partial differential equations. Many other expensive Structural Mechanics
packages do it, such as ANSYS and MARC. The PHOENICS package solves it's
P.D.E.'s in the Computational Fluid Dynamics area, among others such as
FIDAP and FLOTRAN. For Electronics, you can buy finite element codes from
a company called TMA: PISCES, SUPREM and others. They all cost money.

But there is NO such thing as a Universal Partial Differential Equation 
Solver available anywhere. All serious packages are specializations for
a certain area of interest: Mechanics, Fuids, Electronics. No freeware.
Some of these can be ordered for PC's too, yes.

Take my advice: if you ever want to get a sensible answer, be (far) more
specific: _which_ (system of) P.D.E.'s do you want to solve?
In _what_ kind of applications area?
