ALGOR EXHIBITS V17 AT IRONCAD CHANNEL PARTNER SUMMIT

As an IronCAD Gold Partner, ALGOR will give a presentation and provide software demonstrations during the IronCAD Channel Partner Summit in Atlanta, Georgia to show how ALGOR's FEA and simulation products provide direct CAD/CAE data exchange and full associativity with IronCAD. For example, a typical structural tubing bracket modeled in IronCAD (left) was brought into ALGOR for a linear static stress analysis (right) to determine the stress distribution resulting from a force applied to the keyway in the large shaft.

PITTSBURGH, PA – May 3, 2005 – ALGOR, Inc., a leading provider of design, analysis and simulation software, announced that it will demonstrate ALGOR V17 at the IronCAD Channel Partner Summit, being held from May 23 – 24, 2005 in Atlanta, Georgia. The summit brings together IronCAD Channel Partners and Solution Partners from around the world to discuss best practices and future developments with the theme, "Like No Other."

As an IronCAD Gold Partner, ALGOR will give a presentation to summit attendees and provide software demonstrations during the event to show how ALGOR's finite element analysis (FEA) and simulation products provide direct CAD/CAE data exchange with IronCAD. Through an industry-standard plug-in architecture, ALGOR's InCAD technology also provides full associativity with IronCAD – allowing users to make iterative design changes without needing to redefine FEA loads, constraints and other data. It all takes place within FEMPRO, ALGOR's full-featured, single-user-interface FEA tool for all analysis types including static stress and Mechanical Event Simulation (MES) with linear and nonlinear material models, fatigue, linear dynamics, steady-state and transient heat transfer, steady and unsteady fluid flow, electrostatics, piping and full multiphysics.

"ALGOR will be one of a limited number of featured Solution Partners presenting at the summit," said IronCAD's VP of Sales and Marketing, Shaun Murphy. "Following the presentations, our Channel Partners will have the opportunity to meet directly with the Solution Partners to exchange ideas on integrating IronCAD with third-party solutions such as ALGOR."

"Through our participation in the IronCAD Channel Partner Summit, attendees will learn about the integration between ALGOR and IronCAD plus how to use them most effectively in the design process," said ALGOR Product Manager, Bob Williams. "Our participation further demonstrates ALGOR's commitment to partnering with IronCAD to provide a powerful, easy-to-use and economical design-and-analysis solution."
