New user interface makes FEA easy across all analysis types

Keywords: Software, Mechanical Engineering, Modelling

ALGOR, Inc., a leading maker of software for mechanical engineers have announced that FEMPRO, its single user interface with full finite element modeling, results evaluation and presentation environments, is now available for all ALGOR analysis types. This windows-native interface provides a smooth, efficient workflow to increase the productivity of engineers.

"ALGOR not only has the analysis capabilities I need, but also the easiest user interface I have ever seen with a finite element analysis package and many useful post- processing tools. The user interface was an important consideration since I did not have much time to learn to use the software. I needed to be productive with the software immediately", said Paul Poorman of Hewlett- Packard.

FEMPRO features:

• •

  docking toolbars for quick access to common options;

• •

  multiple view windows;

• •

  shortcut keyboard and mouse controls for dynamic viewing;

• •

  tree view of model parts and associated data that visually guides users to provide all necessary information;

• •

  context-sensitive menus that are tailored to particular steps in the analysis process;

• •

  windows-native input screens;

• •

  real-time data checking for reasonable input to reduce user error;

• •

  a suite of modelling capabilities that enables engineers to define models;

• •

  right-click functionality for applying, modifying and deleting loads, constraints and FEA properties;

• •

  load and constraint set capabilities for managing different design scenarios;

• •

  a material library manager and built-in library of materials;

• •

  a built-in graphics environment that features fast dynamic viewing controls and customization options including user-defined colour palettes, annotations and options;

• •

  HTML help with indexing and search capabilities.

FEMPRO is included with all ALGOR products and supports a full range of analysis tools including mechanical event simulation for FEA-based motion and stress analysis, full multiphysics and stress, linear dynamics, heat transfer, fluid flow, electrostatics and piping.
