ALGOR is general-purpose multiphysics finite element analysis software package, actively developed by ALGOR Incorporated, Pittsburgh, PA 15238-2932 USA.

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).

Algor is used by many scientists and engineers worldwide^[1]. It has found application in aerospace^[2], and it has received many favorable reviews^[3]^[4]^[5]. The current version is v20, and it is available for 32- and 64-bit Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux operating systems

Typical uses

Bending; stress–strain
mechanical contact
thermal (conduction, convection, radiation)
fluid dynamics
coupled and uncoupled multiphysics

Materials and elements database

ALGOR's library of material models includes:

Metals and alloys
Plastics
Glass
Foams
Fabrics
Elastomers
Concrete (with rebar) and soils
User-defined materials

ALGOR's element library depends on the geometry and type of analysis performed, but includes:

8 and 4 node bricks
8 and 4 node shells
Beam and trusses
