ALGOR & SpaceClaim Partner to Create 3D Design Solution

By DE Editors

ALGOR, Inc. (Pittsburgh, PA) and SpaceClaim (Concord, MA) announced a new technology partnership: as part of ALGOR V21.1 and SpaceClaim Professional 2007+ (SP2), a fully integrated solution is now being offered to provide thousands of users with a complete design-to-analysis solution and a unique computer-aided engineering (CAE) workflow.

Users can control the CAE workflow regardless of the native CAD environment —  reducing the amount of time that it takes to iterate through multiple CAE scenarios, which leads to better-performing designs and reduced project costs.

This solution provides benefits in preparing models for analysis and building intelligence by being able to edit geometry for design optimization and multiple iterations.

Users can upgrade to any of ALGOR’s wide range of simulation capabilities including static stress and Mechanical Event Simulation (MES) with linear and nonlinear material models; linear dynamics; fatigue; CFD including steady-state and transient heat transfer, steady and unsteady fluid flow and mass transfer;  electrostatics; full multiphysics; and piping. All ALGOR products provide direct CAD/CAE data exchange and full associativity with SpaceClaim.

The partnership includes a time-limited software co-distribution agreement where ALGOR DesignCheck, a version of ALGOR software that allows users to verify designs with a first-pass test, is available for free to all SpaceClaim customers and SpaceClaim is available for free to all ALGOR customers.
