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

== Typical uses ==

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

== Materials and elements database ==

ALGORAutodesk 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. It includes 8 and 4 node brickssolid, 8 and 4 node shellsshell, andas Beamwell as beam and trussesrod elements.

== Autodesk acquisition ==

In 2009, [[Autodesk]] acquired ALGOR for $34 million.
