ALGOR V19 SUPPORTS 64-BIT WINDOWS AND 32- AND 64-BIT RED HAT LINUX FOR ALL ANALYSIS TYPES
18 January 2006 - NAFEMS
| ALGOR, Inc., a leading provider of design, analysis and simulation software, announced that its latest finite element analysis software release, ALGOR V19, features all-new expanded support for 64-bit Microsoft Windows and 32- and 64-bit Red Hat Linux operating systems for all analysis types. |
V19 also features boundary layer meshing for accurately simulating flow around a fluid boundary and new results evaluation capabilities including export to the HOOPS Stream File format for sharing visualization data with other engineering applications. These and many more new V19 features provide ALGOR users with increased power, flexibility and ease-of-use for simulating engineering analyses of their product designs. "Previous releases have supported 64-bit Windows for linear static stress analysis," said ALGOR Product Manager, Bob Williams. "Now, V19 expands our multi-platform support, allowing users to apply the power and speed of 64-bit Windows and 32- and 64-bit Red Hat Linux operating systems to all ALGOR analysis types including static stress and Mechanical Event Simulation with linear and nonlinear material models, linear dynamics, steady-state and transient heat transfer, steady and unsteady fluid flow, electrostatics and full multiphysics. Our next release will support 64-bit UNIX workstations and future releases will support distributed processing." "I'm very excited about running ALGOR V19 on my new 64-bit Linux Compaq Presario PC," said Bob Turney of TIW Corporation in Houston, Texas. "V19's multi-platform support is greatly increasing my productivity, particularly for computationally intensive analyses such as nonlinear MES and multiphysics." "With ALGOR V19's new export capability for the HSF format, I can quickly and conveniently share analysis results visualization data with my clients," said Marc Meadows of Meadows Analysis and Design, LLC in Fort Worth, Texas. "All I have to do is export the model to the HSF format and then I can post the file on my web site and let my clients take a look at it in their engineering applications that support the OpenHSF initiative." ALGOR V19 also includes: o CAD Support (Direct)
o Direct CAD/CAE data exchange with Rhinoceros
o FEMPRO
o Ability to run an analysis on a remote computer
o Improved tetrahedral-element meshing for fluid flow analysis
o Fluid Flow Analysis
o New equal-order segregate solver for transient and coupled fluid flow/heat transfer analyses for faster runtimes with less memory
o New loosely coupled fluid-structure interaction
o Ability to restart an analysis at an arbitrary step
o Heat Transfer Analysis
o Ability to consider fluid convections from a porous media analysis
o Linear Dynamic Analysis
o Ability to output power spectrum density at nodes
o Mechanical Event Simulation/Nonlinear Solver
o Support for all material models and element types in nonlinear modal analysis
o Superview Results Environment
o 2-D stress linearization for evaluating a design's compliance with industry standards such as the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code
o Ability to display fluid flow results during an analysis
o Non-time-dependent graphs
o and much more. For more detailed information, contact an ALGOR account manager or visit the "ALGOR V19" features page.

About: NAFEMS
NAFEMS is a not for profit organisation aimed at promoting best practices and also fostering education and awareness in the engineering analysis community. In line with its objectives to promote the effective use of simulation technologies, NAFEMS is continually seeking to create awareness of new analysis methodologies, deliver education & training, and stimulate the adoption of best practices and standards by offering a platform for continuous professional development.By the late 1970s and early 1980s, as computing power became more widely available, increasingly industry was starting to solve practical engineering problems using finite element analysis techniques. There was however considerable concern that the accuracy of the methods, and software implementations, required to be verified in order to allow the results to be effectively used. Following extensive lobbying, by industry and academia, the UK Government's Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) set up, and funded, a project within the National Engineering Laboratory (NEL), based in East Kilbride, Scotland, to investigate the issues. As a result the National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards, quickly shortened to the acronym NAFEMS, was founded as a special interest group in 1983 with a specific objective namely: "To promote the safe and reliable use of finite element and related technology" In order to keep engineers abreast of the latest developments in the Analysis World the quarterly magazine BENCHmark was launched by NAFEMS in July 1987. After seven years of seed funding by the UK government, and with the support of its industrial members, the decision was taken to launch NAFEMS Ltd as an independent not-for-profit company, owned by its member's in 1990. The company celebrated its 10th Anniversary in 2000, and has developed both the scope of its technology focus and its membership well beyond the original vision. Today NAFEMS and its members are involved in many different types of engineering simulation covering both products and processes. Membership continues to grow, now exceeding 700 corporate members in over 30 different countries. Steering groups have been set up in the UK, France, Germany, and the USA to co-ordinate local activities and interaction with members. |
