Hi, I’m currently working on radar coverage simulation between islands and I’m using FEKO v2025. I would like to use the WRAP module, but I’m not sure how to install or enable it. Can someone help me with the installation process or point me to the right resources?
Overview The new connector is a plugin for Altair HyperStudy that enables the setting of various Altair EDEM parameters directly via a simple and intuitive workflow. The connector also allows an easier connection with Altair HyperMesh for geometry optimization and DEM-CFD coupling projects. Access to the parameters for…
What is the precise definition of the rotation method used for Meta particles in EDEM? I have attempted to determine the defined rotation method through various tests, but I have been unable to figure it out. It seems certain that it is not using the Rodrigues rotation vector method. It appears to be either an Euler angle…
I can't see or change fatigue parameters of a material loaded in my database even if my current solution is a fatigue solution
In HyperMesh 2026 (OptiStruct user profile), my OptiStruct job completes immediately after the header with no analysis/iterations — .out file only shows startup info + empty "Iteration Subcase Variable Grid/Elem ID Value" table. No subcase processing or results. Model Browser shows: Load Step Inputs (1) SUBCASE (2) under…
Hello, I moved from the old 2022.3 version to more recent version 2025 and 2025.1 (both have the same problem). With the newer software whenever I try to use old models or create new ones that use contact between 2 cad models (both step and parasolid) the simulation get stuck in "export geometry" and stops responding.…
Hii, I want to perform a heat source at constant temperature moving on a body, I need to determine the effect of heat on the body, There is a tutorial in radios but it ain't in detail, Suggest me some methods, if its possible in optistruct that would be great The heat source moving at the defined and the heat transfer…

Hey all! I'm doing an assignment for a FEM course in my university. The scenario has a beam in the x-axis and a moment applied in the negative y-axis at the beam tip. The issue is that the beam does not deflect as expected. Instead of the tip bending upwards, the middle of the beam starts moving upwards and then backwards…

I am currently using the morph function to write a script, but I’ve found that when using “by box” or “by cylinder,” I’m unable to select the handles based on their positions. If I want to select handles or domains by location, what are the common or recommended methods to do so? "by box" x0 y0 z0 x1 y1 z1 syst location…
https://us.v-cdn.net/6038102/uploads/IY7KXD5G566F/crashtube-20mm.hm Hello, I have a problem regarding PhysicsAI. I have a crash tube model that is being deformed, and I would like it to generate reasonably reliable predictions for varying radii and impact velocities. I created a dataset with different radii and, for each…
Hi! Every time I launch more than one simulation, they proceed at the same time, causing a lot of occupied licenses allowed. Is it possible to make any type of queue of simulations that once the first is finished, the second is started and so on? Thank you for your help!
Hi, everyone I'm trying to run a FSW run, I'm using 2025 version of hypermesh, There are tutorials but I cant find the tutorial files in my directory and The tutorial shows Hyperextrude for FSW but what i see is Metal extrusion, FSW is present in Hyperwelds. When i check the options from the tutorial in my Hyperextrude or…
Hi there, after finally fixing the HOST-ID issue I was receiving, I now have this run-time 381 error. I've uninstalled and reinstalled more than 10 times now. I've deleted the cnf file every time, and there is no inf file from what I can see on my end. Tried installing older versions, and I'm getting the same issue. If a…
