ALGOR and IronCAD Partner for Fully Associative CAD/CAE Data Exchange.PITTSBURGH -- ALGOR, Inc., a leading provider of design, analysis and simulation software, announced that its product line has been awarded Gold Partner status in IronCAD's Solution Partner program. Gold Partner status signifies that ALGOR's finite element analysis Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computer simulation technique used in engineering analysis. It uses a numerical technique called the finite element method (FEM). There are many finite element software packages, both free and proprietary. (FEA (Finite Element Analysis) A mathematical technique for analyzing stress, which breaks down a physical structure into substructures called "finite elements." The finite elements and their interrelationships are converted into equation form and solved mathematically. ) and simulation products now provide direct CAD/CAE CAD/CAE Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Engineering data exchange with full associativity for IronCAD software. This integrated design-and-analysis solution allows engineers to create solid models in IronCAD and then directly capture that exact geometry in ALGOR for analysis. Through an industry-standard plug-in architecture, ALGOR's InCAD technology also provides full associativity with IronCAD - allowing users to make iterative design changes without needing to redefine FEA loads, constraints and other data. It all takes place within FEMPRO, ALGOR's full-featured, single-user-interface FEA tool for all analysis types including static stress and Mechanical Event Simulation (MES (Manufacturing Execution Software) Software that provides real time access to plant activities that include equipment, labor, orders and inventory. An MES integrates the data with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems so that management has complete control of ) with linear and nonlinear material models, linear dynamics, steady-state and transient heat transfer, steady and unsteady fluid flow, electrostatics electrostatics, study of phenomena associated with charged bodies at rest (see charge; electricity). A charged body has an excess of positive or negative charges, a condition usually brought about by the transfer of electrons to or from the body. and full multiphysics. "ALGOR's participation in our Gold Partner program helps both companies better meet the design-and-analysis needs of today's engineers," said IronCAD's VP of Sales and Marketing, Shaun Murphy. "Competitive market pressures are forcing companies to reduce product development time through increased use of tools such as FEA during the conceptual design stage. The combination of IronCAD and ALGOR gives companies a tightly integrated, full-featured CAD/CAE solution at a good value." "Support for IronCAD has been added to our entire line of mechanical design products at no additional charge in response to customer requests," said ALGOR Product Manager, Bob Williams. "We are excited about offering easy-to-use, fully associative FEA software to IronCAD customers, which allows them to verify their product designs with virtual prototypes instead of costly physical prototype tests. Our new partnership with IronCAD sets the stage for both companies to deliver additional value options to customers in the future." About ALGOR, Inc.
