Stress Analysis using ALGOR
 |
ALGOR is a general-purpose multiphysics finite element analysis software package developed by ALGOR Incorporated for use on the Microsoft Windows and Linux computer operating systems. It is distributed in a number of different core packages to cater to specifics applications, such as mechanical event simulation and computational fluid dynamics.
ALGOR is used by many scientists and engineers worldwide.[1] It has found application in aerospace[2], and it has received many favorable reviews[3][4][5].
Typical uses
- Bending; str
- Mechanical contact
- Thermal (conduction, convection, radiation)
- Fluid dynamics
- Coupled and uncoupled multiphysics
Materials and elements database
ALGOR's library of material models includes:
- Metals and alloys
- Plastics
- Glass
- Foams
- Fabrics
- Elastomers
- Concrete (with rebar) and soils
- User-defined materials
ALGOR's element library depends on the geometry and type of analysis performed, but includes:
- 8 and 4 node bricks
- 8 and 4 node shells
- Beam and trusses
