Applycon's Software Vendor

Applycon currently employs FEA software from Algor, Inc. for three reasons. First, it is the most capable general purpose implicit solver available and is continually improved. Second, for its power, it is easy (a relative term) to use with a coherent and consistent GUI. Third, it is affordable. Applycon has 23 years experience with other high-end FEA software suites and solid modelers.

As a consulting engineering business, Applycon must provide reliable answers fast and at reasonable rates, or we would not stay in business. Most serious FEA packages are good, let's not quibble. The solvers, whether linear or nonlinear, are very capable. After all, the fundamental mathematics are the same.

Software Flexibility

What it comes down to is this: how much flexibility is the analyst given in how he/she sets up the problem? Here flexibility implies real-world load application and material representation accuracy. This is where Algor excels. Compare their list of material models, element types, solvers, loads and constraint options, FE meshers to their competition. And don't forget Algor's unique Mechanical Event Simulation (MES) capability! You'll see the difference.
