PITTSBURGH, PA ‚– ALGOR, Inc. announced that its latest, major finite element analysis (FEA) software release, ALGOR V22, significantly upgrades all areas of FEA ‚– modeling, simulation and results evaluation and presentation.

New and improved features include: expanded support for 64-bit systems, now including pre-processing and post-processing, allows users to handle larger models faster than ever before; analysis of open channel flow, involving a free surface between a flowing fluid and a gas above it, such as marine systems, drainage systems and liquid column gauges; a multifrontal massively parallel solver (MUMPS) for distributed memory systems, which allows faster solution of linear and nonlinear stress and fluid flow models; damage analysis for 2-D plane stress elements, primarily intended for simulating damage onset and growth in fiber-reinforced composite materials; and a software wizard to automatically calculate and apply remote loads to a stress model, such as a torque load to simulate twisting.
