Autodesk Certifies ALGOR FEA Software

ALGOR's finite element analysis (FEA) software provides direct CAD/CAE data exchange of these scissors from Autodesk Inventor (top) for an ALGOR Mechanical Event Simulation (bottom) to study stresses.

PITTSBURGH, PA – June 25, 2007 – ALGOR, Inc., a leading provider of design, analysis and simulation software, announced that Autodesk^® has named ALGOR finite element analysis (FEA) software as an Autodesk Inventor™ 2008 Certified Application. The designation identifies high-quality, robust products that provide the highest level of interoperability with Autodesk Inventor software, the cornerstone of the Autodesk Inventor Series 3-D mechanical design package.

"Once again, ALGOR's analysis and simulation solutions have proven their high level of integration with Autodesk Inventor," said Sudhir Naik, Certification Program Manager of Autodesk. "ALGOR's ongoing participation in the Autodesk Inventor Certified Application program ensures our customers have access to a complete CAD/CAE solution."

"Our continued certification, now for Autodesk Inventor 2008, clearly demonstrates the joint dedication of our two companies to providing effective and up-to-date design and analysis solutions," said ALGOR Product Manager Bob Williams. "We will continue to provide Autodesk Inventor users with easy-to-use and accurate analysis and simulation tools so they can speed up time to market and make better, safer products at a lower cost."

ALGOR software features an easy-to-use single user interface, FEMPRO^®, which provides direct CAD/CAE data exchange and full associativity with most CAD solid modelers including Autodesk Inventor. This allows engineers to simply choose the analysis tools they need, giving them access to ALGOR's wide range of simulation capabilities including linear and nonlinear static stress, Mechanical Event Simulation (MES) with linear and nonlinear material models, linear dynamics, steady-state and transient heat transfer, steady and unsteady fluid flow, electrostatics, fatigue, piping and full multiphysics.
