'''ALGOR'''It is a general-purpose multiphysics [[finite element analysis]] software package developed by ALGOR Incorporatedintended for use on thewith [[Microsoft Windows]] and [[Linux]] computer [[operating system]]s. It is distributed in a number of different core packages to cater to specificsspecific applications, such as mechanical event simulation and [[computational fluid dynamics]].

== Typical uses ==

Typical uses include bending, mechanical contact, thermal (conduction, convection and radiation) fluid dynamics, and coupled or uncoupled multiphysics.

* Bending; str

* Mechanical contact

* Thermal (conduction, convection, radiation)

* Fluid dynamics

* Coupled and uncoupled multiphysics

== Materials and elements database ==

Autodesk Simulation's library of material models includes [[metal]]s and [[alloy]]s, [[plastics]], [[glass]], [[foam]]s, [[fabric]]s, [[elastomer]]s, [[Concrete]] (with rebar), [[soil]]s and user-defined materials.

ALGORAutodesk Simulation's element library depends on the geometry and the type of analysis performed,. butIt includes: 8 and 4 node solid, 8 and 4 node shell, as well as beam and rod elements.
