DesignCheck
DesignCheck is a first-pass, fully integrated simulation tool that is designed to be used with Pro/ENGINEER — the integrated 3D CAD/CAM/CAE program from Parametric Technology Corp. DesignCheck is a time-limited finite element analysis (FEA) software that allows engineers and designers to perform linear static stress analysis of single-part CAD models. Users can virtually test the behavior of product designs, speed time-to-market, and make better, safer products more cheaply. The easy-to-use single-user interface FEMPRO offers direct CAD/CAE data exchange and full associativity with most CAD solid modelers, and allows engineers to choose among the following analysis tools: static stress and mechanical event simulation (MES) with linear and nonlinear material models; computational fluid dynamics (CFD), including steady-state and transient heat transfer, and steady and unsteady fluid flow and mass transfer; linear dynamics; fatigue; electrostatics; full multiphysics; and piping.

ALGOR Version 22 finite element analysis (FEA) software
ALGOR Version 22 finite element analysis (FEA) software has upgraded its modeling, simulation, and results evaluation and presentation features. Its expanded support for 64-bit systems allows users to handle larger models faster than before. Its multifrontal massively parallel solver (MUMPS) quickly solves linear and nonlinear stress and fluid-flow models

ALGOR finite element analysis (FEA) software V23
The latest version of ALGOR finite element analysis (FEA) software, V23, significantly upgrades its computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools. It has “smart” bonded contact with multi-point constraints that bond the surfaces of unmatched meshes, which makes hand-built models easier to tie together and computer-aided design (CAD) models easier to mesh. It includes a utility that generates vertices and beams to replace non-essential surfaces to reduce model size for quicker analysis. It allows multiple prescribed velocities for fluid-flow analysis to be defined using separate load curves to increase control and flexibility. Its upgraded analysis features include: expanded implementation of multifrontal massively parallel solver (MUMPS) for distributed memory systems on both Linux and Windows clusters; and improved 2-D steady fluid-flow analysis, especially for cases involving high Reynolds numbers and turbulence. The evaluation and presentation of results are enhanced through: an ability to display stress and strain results for midside nodes; beam code checking for mechanical event simulation (MES) to verify compliance with industry-standard AISC ASD structural code; and improved report generation with the ability to save selected results directly to the report as a customizable appendix.
