SOLID EDGE CERTIFIES ALGOR’S INCAD PRODUCTS

InCAD technology provided direct CAD/CAE data exchange of this CD player cover from Solid Edge Version 14 (top) for a linear static stress analysis (bottom) in ALGOR. ALGOR’s InCAD products for Solid Edge were among the first named by EDS PLM Solutions as Solid Edge Version 14 Certified Select applications.

PITTSBURGH, PA – August 12, 2003 – ALGOR, Inc., a leading maker of software for mechanical engineers, announced that its InCAD products for Solid Edge were among the first named by EDS PLM Solutions as Solid Edge Version 14 Certified Select applications. The designation is part of the Solid Edge Voyager Program, which identifies best-in-class CAD/CAM/CAE solutions that are associative with Solid Edge data and provide integrated solutions that support the design process from start to finish.

"The Solid Edge Voyager Certified Select program helps Solid Edge Version 14 customers maximize productivity throughout the entire design and manufacturing process," said Mark Davies, manager of the Solid Edge Voyager Program. "ALGOR’s FEA and Mechanical Event Simulation (MES) tools and InCAD products are a valuable addition to the range of complementary software the Voyager Program promotes to its users."

"We are pleased to be among the Certified Select Solid Edge Version 14 applications,” said ALGOR product manager, Bob Williams. “This recognition underscores our commitment to provide Solid Edge users with easy-to-use and accurate simulation tools and ensures that our mutual customers experience full associativity between their Solid Edge Version 14 and ALGOR software."

InCAD Designer/Solid Edge and the InCAD/Solid Edge Extender provide full associativity with each design change within Solid Edge Version 14. These products support ALGOR’s wide range of simulation capabilities including static stress and MES with linear and nonlinear material models, linear dynamics, steady-state and transient heat transfer, steady and unsteady fluid flow, electrostatics, full multiphysics and piping.
