Inventor Pro 2014 (calculation)

[Anonymous]

I'd like to know if the calculations/results of this Inventor professional is accurate expecially on Stress analysis? I'd like to know also where is the download link for algor simulation pro trial version? 

Thanks in Advance,

Algor was purchased a number of years ago by Autodesk and is now named Simulation Mechanical. You can find the information here for product and demo:

With all FEA software, it's only as good as the person setting up the simulation. I don't recall seeing any documentation and results verification for Inventor's FEA on the web.

If you want I've seen papers comparing Inventor FEA to NX Nastran, I can dig them out.

Thanks cieslak. I am currently in offshore hoping to find something like sesam genie. I hope autodesk will provide someday something like that....

You see i am very loyal to autodesk. I was using autodesk since i was in highschool doing experimental things now that i'm working as a Lifting/Structural engineer (navala architect& Marine engineer). I still prefer Autodesk....But sad to say they haven't provide a product for Marine and offshore industry... Looking forward to this Autodesk thanks guys for helping me out....
