Autodesk Simulation is a general-purpose multiphysicsfinite element analysis software package initially developed by ALGOR Incorporated and acquired by Autodesk in January 2009.[1]It is intended for use withMicrosoft Windows andLinuxoperating systems. It is distributed in a number of different core packages to cater to specific applications, such as mechanical event simulation andcomputational fluid dynamics.
Under the ALGOR name, the software was used by scientists and engineers worldwide. It has found applications in aerospace.[2]
Typical uses include bending, mechanical contact, thermal (conduction, convection and radiation) fluid dynamics, and coupled or uncoupled multiphysics.
Autodesk Simulation's library of material models includesmetals andalloys,plastics,glass,foams,fabrics,elastomers,Concrete (with rebar),soils and user-defined materials.
Autodesk Simulation's element library depends on the geometry and the type of analysis performed. It includes 8 and 4 node solid, 8 and 4 node shell, as well as beam and rod elements.
