During this one-hour technical session, you'll discover how leveraging HPC can speed up simulations, improve scalability, and empower engineers…
Join us for a community conversation on accelerating your motor simulation workflow with Simcenter Simlab. In this beginner-friendly session, we'll introduce the platform's automated model-building capabilities and show how easy it is to set up your first electric motor analysis. You'll see the basic steps of geometry…
Join us for a Community Conversation where we'll discuss practical approaches to analyzing complex electromagnetic models using hybrid solver techniques. This session will provide a general overview of how different computational methods can be combined within a single simulation to address models containing varied…
How can I replace the surface current density values with my calculated temperature values in PostFEKO, so that when I click Mesh → Add Elements and select a triangle, the information box displays its Temperature (K) instead of the surface current density?
Hello, I have a student license for PSIM 26.1 (Altair License Server 2026.0). I formatted my PC and can no longer deactivate the old installation. Activation fails with: “Error activating license: This license was already activated using different HostIDs.” Please reset/deactivate the previous activation so I can…
Hi I followed the step-by-step instructions and successfully obtained an active student license, but when I log in, I am still unable to download the software.
Hi support team, I am a student at Aix-Marseille University and I have successfully generated my Student Edition License Key. However, the "Software Downloads" tab is not appearing for Rapidminer Analytics Workbench / SLC in my Altair One Marketplace account (only "Info" and "Try and Buy" are visible). Could you please…
: “My account is verified with my university email (student.squ.edu.om). I generated my Student Edition license key, but Simcenter PSIM shows only Info and Try and Buy with no Download option. I signed out and back in several times. Please enable Student Edition downloads for my account.”
Hello Community, I am working on modeling a parallel plate waveguide in Altair FEKO, but I am looking for guidance on the correct configuration steps and best practices. Could anyone provide advice or a step-by-step approach on how to properly set up the ports, and boundary conditions to excite specific modes (such as TEM…
Hi, I'm starting to use Hyperview 2026. The animation plot tool (to animate the deformation) seems to be missing. I don't find the option to show it. Do you have the same issue?
Hi, I have successfully obtained my Altair Student Edition license key. However, I cannot access the Software Downloads/Download tab for PSIM in Altair One Marketplace. I have already logged out and logged back in after generating the license key, as instructed, but the Software Downloads tab is still not appearing. Could…
In HyperMesh 2026, how can I find the commands that are assigned to the F1–F12 function-key shortcuts? I need some help with this. If there is any documentation or reference guide available that lists these shortcut mappings, please let me know.
Hi all, I am using the nanoFluidX solver with the drivetrain oiling solution to model the behaviour of oil inside a gearbox. I have access to some compute servers and I am hoping to cut down on my simulation run times. The GPU cluster is 4x NVIDIA A100 and runs on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Anyone know if this is possible, or will…
Hi all, I am using SimLab to predict oil behaviour inside of a gearbox, and ever since I introduced HTC extractors, the results don't get the green check mark after solving. The log file shows that the solver finished running and the results folder has data written to it, but I can't look at the results unless I import…
안녕하십니까. 금일 오전부터 Flux, FluxMotor 사용하는 고객에게서 라이센스 오류에 대한 문의가 있어 연락드립니다. 저도 비주기적으로 오류가 발생되고있습니다. 고객사에서 취해야하는 행동이나 서버 이슈라면 언제 수정될지등 알려주시면 감사하겠습니다.
I have verified my account, received a product license, and the download will not pop-up.
Hello Altair, I already have my student license, I previously had hypermesh installed, but my laptop died, and now that I want to reinstall it, I can't...
Last week I received my Altair Student Edition License from Altair (used my University email). Despite receiving confirmation email with License Key, there is no option to download any student edition software like Simcent PSIM etc. Anyone else with similar issues?
We continue to support our academic customers and users who were using and need to use the Altair One system during the transition to the Siemens Ecosystem. You can access its marketplace, downloads and Altair units managed licenses as before. You need to use the same URL - https://altairone.com/Marketplace during our…
Our next community conversation is coming up on Oct 8, 2026. In this webinar, we’ll show how engineers can move beyond manual trial-and-error methods to efficiently evaluate design alternatives, automate parameter studies, and identify optimal solutions with greater confidence. Learn how this integrated approach helps…
