Click to View	Mechanical Event Simulation of a Vertebral Body Replacement Device Saba Metallurgical and Plant Engineering Services used ALGOR Mechanical Event Simulation to study this vertebral body replacement device. Analyses were run to determine the limit load based on allowable strain criteria and to determine the plastic collapse load.
Click to View	Mechanical Event Simulation of a Geneva Mechanism ALGOR Mechanical Event Simulation was used to determine the dynamic stresses in this four-station Geneva mechanism. The drive wheel runs at a steady rotational speed while the driven wheel moves in discrete, 90-degree rotational increments. Dynamic stresses occur due to the periodic acceleration and deceleration of the driven wheel.
Click to View	Mechanical Event Simulation of a Local Reinforcement at a Lifting Point Tolpa Technical Services used ALGOR Mechanical Event Simulation to determine the amount of local reinforcement needed at this structure’s lifting point. Stress levels were controlled while the residual displacement, following a lifting cycle, was reduced to a negligible level.
Click to View	Mechanical Event Simulation of a Horizontal Tank on Saddles Tolpa Technical Services used ALGOR Mechanical Event Simulation to determine peak and residual stresses in this saddle-mounted horizontal tank assembly. High transportation loads were represented by components of acceleration acting in three different directions simultaneously. PV/Designer was used to construct the model.
