Algor finite element modeling tools aid aerospace
Abstract
Aerospace engineers have found Algor, a finite element analysis software package from Algor in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as a useful design and modelling tools. In one case, Applied Analysis & Technology has used Algor software to perform a transient heat transfer analysis on the engine duct assembly of a high-performance jet to determine whether the design would survive on the actual environmental conditions. In another example, Algor software was used to analyze a bulkhead in a commercial jet engine. Because Algor software has become more flexible and easier to use, if has emerged as the fundamental tool for analysis.
