== Typical uses ==

Typical uses include Bending; strbending, Mechanicalmechanical contact, Thermalthermal (conduction, convection, and radiation), Fluidfluid dynamics, and Coupledcoupled andor uncoupled multiphysics.

== Materials and elements database ==

ALGORAutodesk Simulation's library of material models includes [[Metal|metalsmetal]]s and [[alloy|alloys]]s, [[plastics]], [[glass]], [[Foam|foamsfoam]]s, [[Fabric|fabricsfabric]]s, [[Elastomer|elastomerselastomer]]s, [[Concrete]] (with rebar), [[soil|soils]]s and Useruser-defined materials.

ALGORAutodesk Simulation's element library depends on the geometry and the type of analysis performed. It includes 8 and 4 node brickssolid, 8 and 4 node shellsshell, andas Beamwell as beam and trussesrod elements.
