PITTSBURGH, PA –
September 26, 2005
– ALGOR, Inc., a leading provider of design, analysis and simulation software,
announced that its software users can now effortlessly import material
properties from a growing collection of over 50,000 material data sheets through
an enhanced partnership with online information provider MatWeb. ALGOR users can
access MatWeb’s Premium Services to export technical data sheets directly into
an ALGOR material library.
With
just a few clicks, the data can be transferred—fast and accurately.
The
appropriate property values as well as units are automatically exported into an
XML file, which can then be opened in ALGOR. Premium MatWeb users can create up
to five material folders, with up to twenty data sheets in each folder.
"We're excited to partner with ALGOR to provide this increased level of
service," said Dale O. Kipp, Director of MatWeb. "It is a logical extension of
MatWeb's capabilities as a broad technical data resource. Engineers and
designers now have access to over 50,000 data sheets so they can get property
data on the exact materials they need rather than a generic overview. This
information is then quickly downloaded into their ALGOR software without the
hassles and potential errors caused by manual data entry."
"We are pleased to
provide our users with this enhanced access to an industry-leading resource for
material property data. Using MatWeb’s Premium Services, ALGOR users now have
direct access to an extensive collection of materials, allowing our users to
easily apply properties for materials ranging from AISI Steel to Zirconium.
Being able to specify materials precisely greatly enhances the accuracy of
analyses,” said ALGOR Product Manager Bob Williams.
