'''ALGOR Simulation''' is a general-purpose multiphysics [[finite element analysis]] software package developed by ALGOR Incorporated for use on the [[Microsoft Windows]] and [[GNU]]/[[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]].

ALGOR is used by many scientists and engineers worldwide.<ref>http://www.algor.com/service_support/customer/default.asp</ref> It has found application in aerospace,<ref>J. B. Binder, "[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1995AeAm...33...16B Algor finite element modeling tools aid aerospace]", ''Aerospace America'', vol. 33, no. 5, 1995.</ref> and it has received many favorable reviews.<ref>B.

Line 36:

ALGOR's element library depends on the geometry and the type of analysis performed. It includes 8 and 4 node bricks, 8 and 4 node shells, and Beam and trusses.

== Autodesk acquisition ==

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