Re: Radiation in AcuSolve–EDEM coupling (2026): particle–wall interaction?
To my understanding, there is no particle-wall radiation available with the EDEM-Acusolve coupling nor in EDEM itself. You could include enclosure radiation within Acusolve itself - just the surface-to-surface effects. (Or maybe even one of the participating media models.) The overall heat transfer calculation may have some conduction/convection temperature effect, but any potential radiation effects on the particles themselves (outside of the particle-particle radiation) would not be captured.
The particle-particle radiation development in the EDEM-Acusolve coupling has not developed into any tutorials/workflows.
Find and Replace Entity Names
Overview
Find any string in entity types and replace with the new string. Exactly works similar to "find and replace function" in notepad, word or excel.
Usage/Installation Instructions
Can replace all the spaces from all entities, can replace special characters like "! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) +" from all entity names at once. Can find and replace any text in entity names. for example: INPUT: compname : Rail_connections findtext : connections replacetext : conn OUTPUT : Rail_conn replaces in only the selected entity types from the available gui.
Limitation
This function is CASE SENSITIVE.

I did not receive any email to activate the Siemens account. What should I do?
Re: license actevtion
Your license key has been deactivated in Altair One, and you can now reactivate your student license using the same key.
Kindly note, The Altair Free Student Edition license is valid for use on only one device, it cannot be shared or activated on multiple machines at the same time AND Deactivation and reactivation feature is only if a computer breaks down or reformatted and is only allowed a few times per user preprogrammed into the system.
You can deactivate the license from one machine and reactivate in another by yourself if you have access to both machines as per –

Re: license actevtion
Hello @Rahul_P1
I just wanted to share this with you. Please help here.
Note: if you do not have access to the older computer, i.e. if it is lost or malfunctional please let us know in this community and we can deactivate the license for a limited very few times per user.
Best regards,
Jaehoon
Re: Unable to Connect Graph Studio with RapidMiner
Hi @NidhalSaidani ,
Just wanted to let you know we have been looking at this issue - we have reproduced it and escalated it - will keep you informed of any developments.
Re: EDEM-HyperStudy Connector: Installers and User Guide
I have added the 2026.0 version here. From 2026.1 the EDEM connection will be native to HyperStudy and won't require an external installation.
Re: Fiala Tire Outputs/Requests - Instantanious friction coefficient (Mu vs Time Step)
Yes usually from drop tests that is the only way to estimate mu. It is what I usually do indeed.
You have to enable the VARSUB flag in the tire panel then you can simply create an output as user defined function and access to your tire as {ts_1.sys_varsub.sv_cp_force_z.VARVAL} for Fz and similary for Fx. Make sure to use the correct name for the tire when you call the function. Another workaround I usually use is loading my plt or abf with compose and do all the magics there :D
