Accuracy Verification Examples Manual
Key Features of the Accuracy Verification Examples Manual:
- Free with every software package
- Provides archived model files for each example
- Assures you that the software performs consistently and accurately
- Demonstrates a wide range of capabilities in simple,
straight-forward problems which have "classical" or
readily-obtainable theoretical solutions
- Covers most element types and major capabilities of the software
- Can be used to verify how the software functions on your system
- The "ALGOR Automated Test Script" software utility included on the AVE CD-ROM allows you to select from
among the supplied AVE models and re-analyze them with your ALGOR software installation and then compares your results to
those of the Manual
- Can be studied and reproduced to advance knowledge of finite element
analysis (FEA) in general and to specifically learn about the software
