For the CAD thing I just used google Sketchup, free and easy to use. The model of my chiller was the second thing I ever did on it and it took me about 2 hours (could do it in way less now).
Once I get my TEC Simulator fixed I think you should give it a go (because im trying to get people interested more than anything!) to give an idea of performances at different voltages.
You can try it now if you want, the power requirements it gives you will generally be up to 30% lower than they should be but it seems to be ok at showing trends (ie if you change the C/W or number of peltiers etc).
