ALGOR is a general-purpose multiphysics finite element analysis software package developed by ALGOR Incorporated for use on the Microsoft Windows and Linux computer operating systems. It is distributed in a number of different core packages to cater to specifics applications, such as mechanical event simulation and computational fluid dynamics.

ALGOR is used by many scientists and engineers worldwide.[1] It has found application in aerospace[2], and it has received many favorable reviews[3][4][5].

ALGOR's library of material models includes:

ALGOR's element library depends on the geometry and type of analysis performed, but includes:

  • 8 and 4 node bricks
  • 8 and 4 node shells
  • Beam and trusses
