Greetings to all, I recently started using Altair Hyperlife. I want to do a SN fatigue life analysis using load cases paired with constant amplitude channels, using uniaxial method. I have a streel structure that is welded. My model is 2D shell elements with CBUSH connections for welds. So how do I want to set it up: I…
Hello everybody, I open this discussion in order to have more information about the HyperView results analysis. In detail I performed a contact analysis with OptiStruct (through SIMLAB) and I would like to calculate the average Pressure (or other quantity) for a surface of the body. First of all I cannot understand if I…
Hi I am using Inspire 2025 and I have a made model in Catia V5 and I was wondering if it is impossible to import the parameters that I have made in Catia V5 to Inspire? If so, how do I do that and can they then be changed in "Variables" in Inspire?
Hi all, I'm currently working on static eccentricity in my motor design, but in trying solve the model, I'm encountering an issue that isn't immediately obvious to me and would appreciate your input. The problem seems to be related to the air gap, as flagged by the software. I’ve structured the air gap into three regions:…
While using Batchmesh in python, it shows a error of 'Input has inconsistent entity type'. Providing it the proper format parameters still shows the error.
Hi i wanted to get Inspire Structures Professional Certification.But for the second task-based question i am not able to open the .x_b_ file in Altair inspire. Someone help me
Hi everyone, I'm using Optistruct to perform a Double Cantilever Beam adhesive debonding simulation and I'm getting illogical results. As you can see in the picture the adhesive is being stretched a lot and the bigger damage can be seen more towards the fixed end of the beam, which is not how it should be. Could anybody…
I'm trying to understand how "Generate TF-IDF operator" calculates TF-IDF's. Please let me know the formulae for Rapidminer's TF and IDF calculation. Unfortunately, past rapidminer community page does not seem valid any more..
Description: [Hi, I've been trying solving the Acusolve-EDEM tutorial "ACU-T: 6100 Particle Separation in a Windshifter using Altair EDEM" but when I try opening with EDEM the .dem file previously exported by Hypermesh CFD, I've got the following errors and I'm not able to open it: -Could not read file…
I am coding an automation process using python as a main script. I would like to call up a .tcl script from python. I know I can use hw.evalTcl() to launch tcl scripts, but I need to give my tcl script input arguments, so I am running it using subprocess.run( [tclshell_exe, my_tcl_script.tcl, py_arg1, py_arg2],…
Hi all, I recently came across Altair’s suite of products related to motor design and development, specifically Altair Flux and FluxMotor. I would like to understand the key differences between these two tools, and in what scenarios each one is best suited for use. Are there any specific criteria or guidelines for choosing…
Good day, Please, I am a little confused about the rotation of a glued particle or similar shape when building a meta particle. When I try to rotate (30, 60, 90) the meta-particles around the X-axis, there seems to be no obvious change in the orientation because it remains in the same horizontal position as shown in the…
現在、以下の条件で衝突解析を行っていますが、落下してきた物体が地面に固定の薄いゴムシート（10mm ）を必ず貫通してしまい困っています。どこを見直せばよいかご教示ください。 ■ モデル条件 落下体：質量 1.2 kg の剛体立方体 自由落下高さ：0.5 m 接触面積：一辺 53.18 mm の正方形 ゴムシート材性：ヤング率 27 MPa ■ Contact 接触設定 Stiffness：K = 8000 N/mm Damping：40 N·s/mm Exponent：n = 1.0／1.5（両方試しました） Penetration depth (dmax)：0.1 mm Time step：Auto…
Hi everyone, I'm having some issues using Cohesive Zone Modelling in HyperMesh OptiStruct. I’ve run two simulations using exactly the same adhesive (same stiffness parameters, damage initiation, and damage evolution), but with slightly different Single Lap Joint geometries. One of them, as shown in the attached second…
Hello, may I ask how I can obtain the latest compilation interface for EDEM-Fluent coupling? The current download link for the interface is no longer working😥。
Hi! I am using Inspire 2025 and I want to use Inspire to connect with Hyperstudy to optimize my design. I have been looking at this video and I was thinking of using somewhat the same kind of methodology: I have created my model in Catia V5 and I was wondering if it is possible to import this model and the parameters that…
If i want to select a single node or element or what ever item it is not poosibe to do it with a left mouse click, it simply does not pick it. I have the correct selector choosen, I already restarted my computer and the app, I tried also a different mouse. Same effect. When I a draw a box the item will be selected. Thank…
Hello, I'm getting this error when running my simulation. *** ERROR # 4966 *** Minimum time increment reached, analysis aborted. I do not know how to solve this problem. I have attached the .hm file. Appreciate any help thank you
Hi Everyone, I am researching the coupling of Fluent and EDEM. Since the particles in EDEM are sphero-cylinders, GPU computing must be used. However, the GPU version of Fluent does not support multiphase flow, so Fluent is computed using the CPU. Will using different processors for these two software affect the data…
