Autodesk Simulation
ALGOR is general-purpose multiphysics finite element analysis software package, actively developed by ALGOR Incorporated, Pittsburgh, PA 15238-2932 USA.
ALGOR is sold in various core packages including: multiphysics, mechanical event simulation, static (linear and nonlinear materials), and computational fluid dynamics. It also has many add-on features such as PipePak (for piping and pressure vessels) and FEMPRO (for drawing the model).
A notable aspect of ALGOR is its extensive support; offered through free online step-by-step videos and purchasable in depth tutorials. A new free webcast is usually broadcast every Tuesday at 1000h (GMT - 0500h).
