    V20 changes

    Hi toys19, Most of the automated saves have been removed. However, ALGOR V20 will still auto-save before analysis or check. All saves still over-write but this should not be much of an issue since the user is in control of when the saves occur. As you know, previous releases would auto-save...

    V20 changes

    toys19, You can change your analysis options (Options -> Analysis -> Automated Tasks) so that the analysis does not start automatically when the Analyze button is depressed. This will prevent one from accidentally over-writing their results. Sam ALGOR, Inc.

    V20 changes

    toys19 is correct; ALGOR V20 is scheduled for release at the end of January. The FEA Editor and CAD Interface environments are merged in this version. As noted, there are many pre- and post-processing speed improvements amongst many new features. If anyone is interested in participating in...

    Problems with large models and accuracy in Algor

    Since ttoole was raising questions, I was merely asking normal technical support questions as to what, when and how the results in question were obtained. But since no data, models, results or anything else was ever delivered to me, it is clear that there is no interest in getting the truth...

    Can Algor V19 run on a cluster of computers?

    PVH We are developing to de facto industry standards such as MPI and Fedora. Hence, ALGOR should be compatible with such ASP type of services as you describe. Sam

    Problems with large models and accuracy in Algor

    Hi boatengx To clarify, since their ttoole has not shared their model or results or even who they are, we do not even know if what ttoole is reporting is accurate, let alone what might have cause such results... Also as I am sure that you are aware, poor meshes (bad aspect ratios, warping...

    Problems with large models and accuracy in Algor

    boatengx, As Garland notes, poor input can result in poor results. There is no change in accuracy in newer releases of ALGOR. You need not be concerned. We continue to add development to correct/diagnose poor input. Hence, there are newer ALGOR features to automatically correct poor input...

    Problems with large models and accuracy in Algor

    ttoole, You were misinformed. Nonethless, it’s your decision. If you are really interested to evaluate software in a scientific manner, we welcome that and would assist you in upgrading your ALGOR to the latest version as so many of our customers are enjoying the increased performance we...

    Problems with large models and accuracy in Algor

    Hi ttoole, I still haven’t received your test results yet? In checking our CRM database I can’t locate any software license information for you. Are you using older versions of ALGOR to run your benchmark results? Our latest benchmark tests are materially better that what you have been...

    Problems with large models and accuracy in Algor

    Fair enough. Do you know what disk drive that you have? Which operating system? BTW, which ALGOR solver are you using? Please contact me at ALGOR (see www.algor.com for phone numbers, etc.) so that I may give specific contact information for you to forward your report to. Thank you...

    Problems with large models and accuracy in Algor

    TTOOLE, Please provide the specifics of your hardware as I previously asked. Also please supply your ALGOR version and ALGOR License Number. Your ALGOR Application Engineer will be able to then help you get you better linear static solution times. The AE will also be able to help you confirm...
