ALGOR announced that it will demonstrate ALGOR V18 at UGS' Solid Edge^® User Summit and Executive Symposium 2005, being held from September 28 – 30 in Cincinnati. The summit brings together Solid Edge users from around the world to experience educational workshops, user presentations, business sessions, development roundtables, exhibitions and more – all designed to broaden attendees' knowledge about Solid Edge and design and manufacturing tools and processes.

As a Certified Select application in the Solid Edge Voyager Program, ALGOR's easy-to-use, single user interface, FEMPRO, provides direct CAD/CAE data exchange and full associativity for each design change in Solid Edge^® software. This allows Solid Edge users to simply choose the analysis tools they need, giving them access to ALGOR's wide range of simulation capabilities beyond simple static stress, such as Mechanical Event Simulation (MES) with linear and nonlinear material models, linear dynamics, fatigue, steady-state and transient heat transfer, steady and unsteady fluid flow, electrostatics, piping and full multiphysics.

"At Solid Edge Summit 2005, attendees will see free demonstrations of how fast and convenient it is to bring Solid Edge models into ALGOR and then use our wide range of analysis and simulation tools for a total design solution," said ALGOR Product Manager, Bob Williams. "We will also be demonstrating the new features of V18, our latest software release, including automatic modeling of the fluid medium for fluid flow analysis, new nonlinear material models for Mechanical Event Simulation, optimization for 64-bit operating systems and new results evaluation options including isosurface displays."

"We look forward to ALGOR exhibiting at Solid Edge Summit 2005," said Mark Davies, manager of UGS' Solid Edge Voyager Program. "Participating in our summit as well as other Solid Edge events shows ALGOR's ongoing commitment to our partnership."
