ALGOR AROUND THE WORLD - Brisbane, Australia

David Twine of BHP Engineering discusses using Algor's Design and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) System.

"The BHP Group has a track record of over 100 years as an owner, developer, and operator of energy, manufacturing, steel, and mining operations both within Australia and around the world.

"By using Algor's PC-based FEA software we have an alternative to building prototypes, testing, and rebuilding. We can also avoid expensive product overdesign and field retrofits for underdesign. Our engineers can pinpoint a design defect and determine the most appropriate material type and quantity before a design is in production.

"With Algor software we perform dynamic analyses of crusher screens and support structures; static analyses of alumina smelter precipitator tanks with overhead cranes and gantries; structural/thermal analyses of arc furnaces, retained earth anchorage system wharf and gantry structures, and conveyor trestles; as well as extensive applications to heavy materials handling equipment."
