ALGOR, Kubotek to Co-Distribute Software
 PITTSBURGH,
PA and MARLBOROUGH, MA, Nov 20, 2007 - ALGOR, Inc., a leading provider of
design, analysis and simulation software, and Kubotek USA, Inc., makers of
geometry-based KeyCreator computer-aided design (CAD) software, jointly
announced today the expansion of their existing partnership with a new
co-distribution agreement. ALGOR will distribute KeyCreator with its latest
finite element analysis (FEA) software, ALGOR V21; and Kubotek USA will
distribute ALGOR DesignCheck with KeyCreator 7.0. This complementary CAD and
FEA software comes with a six-month license, providing thousands of ALGOR
and Kubotek USA customers with a complete design-and-analysis solution.

KeyCreator provides best-in-class translation, model repair,
de-featuring, sectioning and general editing of 3D models from numerous
popular CAD formats including ACIS, AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, IGES,
Parasolid, SolidWorks and STEP. KeyCreator features Kubotek's new FaceLogic
technology, which dramatically speeds selection and editing of design
features in non-native solid models.
ALGOR DesignCheck allows users to verify individual parts with a
first-pass stress analysis to virtually test the behavior of product
designs, speed up time to market and make better, safer products at a lower
cost. Powered by ALGOR's InCAD technology, ALGOR DesignCheck is fully
associative with each updated model from Kubotek's KeyCreator and REALyze
products.
"By providing ALGOR DesignCheck to our KeyCreator customers with active
maintenance contracts in North and South America, they can see for
themselves how easy it is to transfer a CAD model into ALGOR for analysis,"
said John Wright McCullough, Kubotek USA Product Manager. "In the future,
both companies plan to further develop cooperative channel opportunities for
each other's products."
"Supplying KeyCreator provides ALGOR users with a full-featured,
state-of-the-art CAD package that supports native CATIA V5 parts and is
tightly integrated with our software," said Bob Williams, ALGOR Product
Manager. "KeyCreator users can use ALGOR DesignCheck to try out our linear
static stress analysis capabilities for single-part models. For more
advanced analysis needs, they can easily upgrade to any of ALGOR's wide
range of analysis capabilities that all work associatively with KeyCreator."
