'''Autodesk Simulation''' is a general-purpose multiphysics [[finite element analysis]] software package initially developed by ALGOR Incorporated and acquired by Autodesk in January of 2009.

<ref>Autodesk official press release - January 20th 2009, https://investors.autodesk.com/news-releases/news-release-details/autodesk-completes-acquisition-algor-inc</ref>

It is intended for use with [[Microsoft Windows]] and [[Linux]] [[operating system]]s. It is distributed in a number of different core packages to cater to specific applications, such as mechanical event simulation and [[computational fluid dynamics]].

Under the ALGOR name, the software was used by scientists and engineers worldwide. It has found applications in aerospace.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Binder |first=John D. |date=1995-05-01 |title=Algor finite element modeling tools aid aerospace |url=https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1995AeAm...33...16B |journal=Aerospace America |volume=33 |issue=5 |pages=16–18 |bibcode=1995AeAm...33...16B |issn=0740-722X}}</ref>

== Typical uses ==

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

== Materials and elements database ==

Line 44 ⟶ 39:

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