King Mongkut's Insitute of Technology North Bangkok Installs 99 Seats of Algor FEA Software for Advanced Mechanical Engineering Education

PITTSBURGH, PA - July 10, 2002 - ALGOR, Inc., a leading maker of software for mechanical engineers, recently announced the installation of 99 seats of ALGOR FEA software at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology North Bangkok (KMITNB) in Bangkok, Thailand to support the ongoing development of the master's- and doctorate-level curricula for the Thai-German Graduate School of Engineering (TGGS).

Dr. Saiprasit Koetniyom of KMITNB said, "A new course on Simulation Techniques in Mechanical Engineering uses the ALGOR software with SolidWorks CAD software to teach Thai students real-world mechanical engineering techniques using real industry tools. Plus, the ALGOR FEA software will be used in research studies conducted with our industrial partners in the coming years."

Included in the installation are ALGOR's Professional Multiphysics core package for analyses involving structural, electrostatic, fluid flow and thermal effects and the InCAD/SolidWorks Extender, which offers seamless data exchange with the CAD program and provides full associativity with each design change.

KMITNB is a high-ranking Thai university of technology established in 1959 through cooperation between the Thai government and the Federal Republic of Germany. The institute is currently working with RWTH Aachen (the Aachen University of Technology) in Aachen, Germany, to implement TGGS, which will include international master's and doctoral degree programs in engineering that cooperate with industrial partners to systematically train qualified Thai engineers. Industrial leaders Siemens, Bayer and ABB - all German companies with considerable business dealings in Thailand - already support the TGGS initiative.

ALGOR makes computer software and provides services for mechanical and civil engineers. The company serves over 20,000 engineers in over 60 countries in organizations such as DuPont, General Motors, Goodyear, Hewlett-Packard, NASA, Naval Surface Warfare Center and Yale University. Partnerships with other leading mechanical engineering software companies offer data interchange with products from ANSYS, Inc. (Nasdaq:ANSS); Autodesk, Inc.
