PITTSBURGH, PA – February 18, 2004 – ALGOR, Inc., a leading provider of design, analysis and simulation software, announced that its InCAD products for Solid Edge were named by UGS PLM Solutions as Solid Edge Version 15 Certified Select applications. The designation is part of the Solid Edge Voyager Program, which identifies best-in-class CAD/CAM/CAE solutions that provide integrated and associative solutions supporting the design process from start to finish.

“The Solid Edge Voyager Certified Select program helps Solid Edge Version 15 customers identify applications that provide a high level of CAD integration and maximize productivity throughout the entire design and manufacturing process,” said Mark Davies, manager of the Solid Edge Voyager Program. “ALGOR’s continued certification ensures that the Solid Edge/ALGOR combination provides customers with a powerful CAD/CAE solution, based on the highest level of interoperability.”

“We are pleased to provide Solid Edge Version 15 Certified applications that help engineers be more productive,” said ALGOR Product Manager, Bob Williams. “This recognition underscores our commitment to provide Solid Edge users with easy-to-use and accurate analysis and simulation tools so that they can speed up time to market and make better, safer products at a lower cost.”

InCAD Designer/Solid Edge and the InCAD/Solid Edge Extender provide full associativity with each design change within Solid Edge Version 15. These products can be extended to include ALGOR’s wide range of simulation capabilities including static stress and Mechanical Event Simulation with linear and nonlinear material models, linear dynamics, steady-state and transient heat transfer, steady and unsteady fluid flow, electrostatics and full multiphysics.
