hello, I replaced my laptop's motherboard, which changed my System/Hardware ID. Since the hardware changed, I am unable to access the previous environment to run almutil_gui.exe and deactivate my Student License. Could you please reset/deactivate my previous activation record so I can reuse my key on the updated hardware?…
Hello, I accidentally reinstalled Windows and now I’m unable to activate my student license. Could you please deactivate my current student license so I can activate it again? Thank you for your help.
Hello there, I'm a user of Altair Flux and I wanted to test the SimLab software to see the differences. I'm using the 2026.1 version of Altair SimLab. I have a magnetostatic 3D model of a magnetic source (iron circuit with 2 non meshed coils), I'm using a symetry in all 3 planes. So my idea was to do like in Flux and do a…
Overview INTRODUCTION The excavator is a staple of construction equipment seen on construction sites around the world. The simulation of heavy machinery, like the excavator, is crucial for optimizing design and improving performance. Utilizing multibody dynamics (MBD) software, engineers can analyze the mechanical systems…
Dear Altair Team, We meet problems when coupling AcuSolve and EDEM in SimLab and need your support.The coupled simulation cannot be paused but only terminated. Could we resume the simulation from the last time step after terminating the coupling? Waiting for your reply, thanks. Best regards

For context, I use the Altair Inspire Studio 2025 R1 version to open my Altair EDEM 2022. 3-version rotary drum calciner slice simulations. At first, they would open fine, and I could work with them. Another issue I have faced is that the tutorial available on the YouTube channel isn't updated for the newest version of the…
I need to create a rope like this between a drum and sheave
Hello all, I wanted to share with you a tool to digitize plots in images using OML and Python. The aim is to convert plots that are introduced in text books like Analysis and Design of Flight Vehicle Structures (Bruhn, 1973): Such plots are commonly used in industries like Aerospace to calculate constants and other…

I have a SAS programming friend in Montreal who says that no-one there uses SLC. He also says that the SAS programming market in Quebec is vanishing! Does anyone here know any SLC programmers around Montreal? Is Siemens/Altair actively marketing SLC in that part of Quebec? I'll admit to encouraging him to register the…
Dear ones, I'm having considerable difficulty to simulate a translation transient in double primary linear induction motor with solid secondary (Flux2D). I already had some progress in "first steps", that is, electromagnetic simulation in steady state AC. All good so far. However, when I intend to take the next step -…
Hello, I'm trying to create an X tube using Sketch and Section Manager with Hypermesh 2025.1, as I did using Hyperbeam few years ago (this time, I have a message "unsupported beam section"). However, I didn't succeed to transform a "geometric" into a "hole" with a solid part (here "ShellPart") inside an other solid part…
