Join us for a community conversation on the impact of rotor deformation on the performance of high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). As these machines operate at increasingly higher speeds, centrifugal loading can deform the rotor and reduce the machine air gap. This session presents a simulation-driven,…
Join us for a community conversation to discover how integrated simulation can help analyze radiated electromagnetic emissions in EV powertrain systems. This session will demonstrate how Simcenter Feko and Simcenter PSIM work together to estimate emissions from a three-phase cable and assess their impact on nearby…
Join us for a community conversation on accelerating power electronics design, where you'll learn how to leverage the fast simulation capabilities of Simcenter PSIM alongside the powerful design exploration and optimization features of Simcenter HEEDS. In this webinar, we’ll show how engineers can move beyond manual…
Join us for a community conversation on Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), a fundamental technique in electric motor control, and explore how different PWM strategies can yield significantly different results. This webinar provides a comparative analysis of various PWM methods and their effects on motor efficiency, torque…
Join us for a community conversation to discover the Advanced Iterative Solver(AIS) in Simcenter Feko and its application to electrically large and computationally demanding electromagnetic models. The session will provide a general overview of how iterative solution methods can help improve efficiency of large scale…
I have the student license for Altair EDEM and want to change to faculty license of Altair EDEM. What is the procedure?
S-frame unable to activate
Hello, I am a teaching assistant for a university course that relies on PSIM for simulation-based classes. We are currently experiencing the same PSIM Student Edition licensing issue on multiple student PCs. This is now disrupting laboratory sessions and preventing students from completing assignments. Problem License…
Dear Community, I'm working on modelling an airplane mockup for an upcoming Siemens GVT masterclass. I'm quite novel with the ALTAIR solution and following the guide/documentation, I get some intersections while doing the penetration test. The autofix doesn't seem to be working. Is there any way to solve the issue instead…
I am using HyperMesh version 2026.1, and I sometimes struggle to follow the instructions in the demos. For example, "00-Demo-1-Solution-Guide-GSHM-v2025.1" refers to the Analyze > Structural > Loads > Forces tool on the ribbon. I cannot find this command, even though all the ribbons are enabled. Is there a document that…
Hello Altair Support Team, I am using an Altair Student Edition license, but my portal displays "Activation Left: 0" after I attempted to reactivate/reinstall the software on my machine (DESKTOP-88FRPN6). Since my previous installation is inaccessible, I am unable to deactivate it manually. Could an administrator please…
How can I change from student license of Siemens EDEM to faculty license of Siemens EDEM. I have the student license for Altair EDEM but it can not run my thesis simulation.
How can I subscribe for the faculty license of Siemens EDEM. I already have the student license but it can serve my needs.
I downloaded the Altair flux software after generating the Student License. I went to the activation application and also entered my license key. But then it shows that no host found.
Hi I have been trying to use EDEM with a student edition license. The license activates properly, but only includes HyperViewTrans, HyperWorksEDU, and romAI. When I try to load EDEM it gives the error message: ERROR : License Error : Altair License Manager: License error Feature(s): GlobalZoneAM, HyperWorks, HWEDEMGUI…
I downloaded Feko 2026.1.2 Windows x86_64 directly from Altair One Marketplace. The downloaded ZIP fails the SHA-256 check and 7-Zip reports a CRC failure. Official SHA-256: 1135fe3e33617f4436e016b0a922590d97e9b556823f9c2289208cd01d5623f7 Downloaded file SHA-256:…
Hi everyone, I’m currently calibrating the Tavares breakage model in EDEM. I have two remaining parameters, A and b, that need to be determined. I have experimental breakage data, and my plan is to determine these parameters by matching the EDEM simulation results with the experimental results. However, manually running…
