ALGOR V22 Upgrades All Areas of FEA: Modeling, Simulation and Results
ALGOR, Inc. announced that its latest, major finite element analysis (FEA) software release, ALGOR V22,
significantly upgrades all areas of FEA – modeling, simulation and results evaluation and presentation.
New and improved features include: expanded support for 64-bit systems, now including pre-processing and post-processing,
allows users to handle larger models faster than ever before; analysis of open channel flow,
involving a free surface between a flowing fluid and a gas above it, such as marine systems, drainage systems and liquid column gauges;
a multifrontal massively parallel solver (MUMPS) for distributed memory systems,
which allows faster solution of linear and nonlinear stress and fluid flow models;
damage analysis for 2-D plane stress elements, primarily intended for simulating damage onset and growth in fiber-reinforced composite materials;
and a software wizard to automatically calculate and apply remote loads to a stress model, such as a torque load to simulate twisting.
ALGOR Product Manager Bob Williams said, "Developed in response to user requests, V22 provides ALGOR users with increased power,
flexibility and ease-of-use for simulating engineering analyses of their product designs.
V22's capabilities for larger models and additional analysis tools are moving us closer to true virtual prototyping,
where a person working on a computer can simulate the testing of a product design as realistically as can be physically performed inside a laboratory.
ALGOR V22 represents another significant step towards achieving that ultimate goal."
