ALGOR Showcases V19.1 at Offshore Technology Conference 2006.

PITTSBURGH -- ALGOR, Inc., a leading provider of design, analysis and simulation software, announced that it will demonstrate the all-new ALGOR V19.1 at the 38th annual Offshore Technology Conference 2006 (OTC.06), being held May 1-4, 2006 at the Reliant Center in Houston, Texas. OTC.06 will bring together over 50,000 industry professionals - including engineers, technicians, executives, operators, scientists and managers - to discuss developments in the offshore industry fields of drilling, exploration, production and environmental protection.

As one of more than 2,300 exhibiting companies from around the globe, ALGOR will show how its finite element analysis (FEA) software can help companies virtually test and predict real-world behavior of new and existing product designs, speed up time to market and make better, safer products at a lower cost. ALGOR FEA features an easy-to-use single user interface, FEMPRO, which provides direct CAD/CAE data exchange and full associativity with most CAD solid modelers. This allows engineers to simply choose the analysis tools they need, giving them access to ALGOR's wide range of simulation capabilities including linear and nonlinear static stress, Mechanical Event Simulation (MES) with linear and nonlinear material models, linear dynamics, steady-state and transient heat transfer, steady and unsteady fluid flow, electrostatics, fatigue, piping and full multiphysics.

ALGOR V19.1 features support for the 64-bit Microsoft Windows(R), 32- and 64-bit Red Hat(R) Linux(R) and 64-bit HP-UX platforms for all analysis types. V19.1 also features boundary layer meshing for accurately simulating flow around a fluid boundary and new results evaluation capabilities including export to the HOOPS Stream File (HSF) format for sharing visualization data with other engineering applications.

"At OTC.06, attendees will see free demonstrations of how our wide range of analysis and simulation tools fits their needs including piping design and analysis, design and code compliance for drilling platforms and complex CFD simulations," said ALGOR Product Manager, Bob Williams. "We will also be demonstrating the new features of V19.1 to show how they provide ALGOR users with increased power, flexibility and ease-of-use for simulating engineering analyses of their product designs."
