Could you please check if there is an issue with the Altair Marketplace server or my account…
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…
I'm using Simlab to model a vacuum machine, and in coupling with EDEM the particles should be moved upwards once it touches certain part of tube. How do i define the face to give particle velocity in Simlab 2025 Optistruct solver? Thanks Qin
Dear Altair Support Team, I am unable to access the Altair Marketplace. Whenever I try to open the Marketplace, I receive the following error: Error 522 – Connection Timed Out Host Error My Student Edition account has already been verified, and I need to access the Marketplace to obtain my license and download PSIM.

Hi all, The EDEM 2026.1 Windows installer (AltairEDEM2026.1_win64.exe) extracts to 100% ("InstallAnywhere is preparing to install...") and then closes without the setup wizard appearing. It fails the same way in GUI mode, console mode (-i console), and Windows 8/7 compatibility mode, run as administrator. Running it with…
I am using Altair Inspire 2025.1 to simulate airflow generated by an axial fan operating in quiescent air. The fan geometry consists of helical (screw-type) blades designed to generate axial flow, and the fan is modeled using Rotating Components. The surrounding fluid domain is sufficiently large, and only a very small…
Hello community, i just downloaded and installed Simlab 2026.1. Unfortunately I cannot follow the example Electromagnetic Modeling and Analysis of an Induction Heating Device as there is no option for extruding the coil or using another infinitebox than disc. Is 3D modelling for electromagnetics disabled in Simlab?
Hi, i recently switched from a windows to a RedHat Linux on the same machine and installed HWdesktop as well as the requiered solvers for my university course. I wanted to re get my licence off the website since i dont have access to windows anymore and therefore dont have the licence. I have been unable to use the…
