FEA Software features multiple CFD and MES capabilities.(ALGOR V19.2 Features Enhancements to CFD and MES)

In addition to simulation capabilities for static stress and Mechanical Event Simulation (MES), ALGOR v19.2 finite element analysis (FEA) software includes functionality for computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Features include capability to model flow obstacles as distributed resistance parts; surface-to-surface contact options; industry-standard sparse solvers for linear dynamic analysis, static stress analysis, and MES; and distributed memory processing for 32- and 64-bit Linux.
