ALGOR offers very powerful mesh generators which are running from CAD models ; the surface models are meshed into quad and the volumic models into brick elements.
This software integrates with many CAD systems such as
It allows designers to analyse their models in their own CAD environment. Using the powerful feature is « Feature Control », ALGOR users can automatically simplify their CAD model in real time and on screen before meshing.
ALGOR also has input and output capabilities to import the mesh from or export to other FEA packages. MES - Mechanical Event Simulation - dynamically replicates the motion and flexing behavior of virtual prototypes on a computer so that engineers of all disciplines and skill levels can understand how their designs will function during real-world operation.
MES allows the user to calculate problems like crash, metal forming, (...all the non-linear phenomena that can be calculated by implicit schemes) in the same graphical interface as all other analyses. The neutral axis can also be derived. A very powerful feature is also available « Feature Control » : the ALGOR users can automatically simplify their CAD model in real time and on the screen before the mesh step. ALGOR is also having input and output capabilities with the other FEA packages to import or export the mesh.
