'''ALGOR''' is a general-purpose multiphysics [[finite element analysis]] software package, actively developed by ALGOR Incorporated, Pittsburghfor use on [[Microsoft Windows]] and [[GNU/Linux]] operating systems. It is distributed in a number of different core packages to cater to specifics applications, PAsuch 15238-2932as USAmechanical event simulation and [[computational fluid dynamics]].

ALGOR is sold in various core packages including: multiphysics, mechanical event simulation, static (linear and nonlinear materials), and [[computational fluid dynamics]]. It also has many add-on features such as PipePak (for piping and pressure vessels) and FEMPRO (for drawing the model).

A notable aspect of ALGOR is its extensive support; offered through free online step-by-step videos and purchasable in depth tutorials. A new free webcast is usually broadcast every Tuesday at 1000h (GMT - 0500h).
