Digital prototyping moves ahead with Autodesk Algor Simulation
Published Tue 22 Sep 2009
The recently acquired Algor digital prototyping software has its first Autodesk release.
Autodesk Algor Simulation software provides a broad range of mechanical simulation tools to help designers and engineers make critical decisions earlier in the design process.
Featuring finite element modeling tools and built-in material libraries, the software allows users to study initial design intent and accurately simulate the behavior of a digital prototype.
Supporting direct data exchange with most CAD software tools, users can easily collaborate and make iterative design changes without having to redefine simulation data.
There are four Autodesk Algor Simulation software offerings:
· Autodesk Algor Simulation 2010 - Design validation and optimization with a broad range of mainstream engineering simulation tools in a multi-CAD environment.
· Autodesk Algor Simulation CFD 2010 - All the functionality of Autodesk Algor Simulation along with fluid flow analysis, computational fluid dynamics and mass transfer analysis.
· Autodesk Algor Simulation MES 2010 - All the functionality of Autodesk Algor Simulation along with nonlinear static and dynamic analysis, rigid-body motion analysis, and combined stress and flexible-body motion analysis.
· Autodesk Algor Simulation Professional 2010 - All the functionality of Autodesk Algor Simulation, Autodesk Algor Simulation CFD, and Autodesk Algor Simulation MES along with electrostatic analysis and the ability to combine analysis types for full multiphysics simulations.
