Re: How does Altair units lisence work
Great, thanks for answering!
Assuming I wanna test out the Altair Activate and Twin Activate, does it draw two seperate amount of AUs or is does same lisence work for both versions?
Activate and Twin Activate are the same, as far as I know.
Same amount of AUs.
GUI products, in general, level their usage for 1 user, meaning you could launch as many as your machine supports, and the consumption would be given by the highest draw.
Re: How does Altair units lisence work
apparently your company has 2 valid licenses, of with 84 Altair Units and another with 300 AUs.
Someone is definetely using it, in your company.
To activate your access, you need to input your username and password (Managed AltairOne) from the AltairOne portal into the software.
Assuming that you have rights to access one of the licenses shown up there, you would be able to use the software.
Each product uses a certain number of units, as you can check the link below.
Re: How to correctly parameterize input dimensions for your FluxMotor-Hyperstudy optimization
Hello Hannes,
Thanks for writing in the forum.
What you describe is related to the definition of relevant constraints to get feasible designs.
I think the blogs below can help you to understand better the FluxMotor-HyperStudy connection and use. Please try the suggestions in point 2 and 3 of the Top 5 guide (2nd blog below). Normally it will help to get more successful evaluations.

Does this help?

CAD to Simulation
Overview
Part Browser - BatchMeshing Sheet Metal Parts
- Use of Part Browser to create part set
- Save CAD representation
- Create user representation with required PARAM / CRITERIA files
- Create representation send to Batch Mesher for meshing the sheet metal parts
Mid Mesh workflow for cast / plastic components
Connectors Creation - Welds and Bolts
- Using the Control Manager- Define controls to create the required type of connections.
- Use the create Tool to create – point/line/fastener/area connectors.
- Connector browser all features available within the browser.
- Load collectors for SPC’s are created
- Load steps inputs – for Modal analysis – EIGRL card created
- Load Step creation – Normal modes
- Export the deck which has the subsystems and the connection subsystem and submit the file for analysis
- Load result *.h3d file in HyperView for result visualization – Modal frequency and mode shapes
Pre-Requisite
Should have the latest version of HyperWorks HW2022.2
Usage/Installation Instructions
Unzip the attached files to use for exercise as described in the videos on the Altair How to Channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAlbncJYheA&list=PLGNemB0NFb0DYHM6UytxyTnLFdR_tNbZG&pp=iAQB

Create a Component (and Property) for each surface in your model
Overview
This script will allow you to select surfaces, and each surface will be placed into a newly created component. Assuming this is a midsurfaced model, a blank PSHELL property will also be created and assigned to the component, allowing for easy Gauge optimization setup.
Usage/Installation Instructions
Load Script
Select Surfaces
Give it a few seconds (Its not the fastest, but I'm not a professional coder 
)
Re: How can I retain my Assemblies from HyperMesh to HyperView?
Thanks Adriano,
When I do that I see Materials and Properties come in, but still no Assemblies.
I should also add- when I open the results file in either the Advanced or Standard Math Template the Parts Entity includes some of the Part Assemblies, but not all, and they are not structured correctly.
It should be available in the Parts Browser (Double click on Parts from home browser)
Re: How can I combine results from several different load steps into one contour plot?
hi,
you can create a derived loadstep of type 'linear superposition' if you want to add them together.
If you're trying only to find the worst case, then the type would be 'envelope'.
A few tutorials found in the documentation:
Re: EDEM Particle Size Distribution
I have created 30 different particles shapes under one bulk material as shown. I would like to generate 20,000 particles and have each particle shape be randomly distributed among the 20,000 particles. Just like a hand full of sand. Do I just simply select random for each particle as shown below? Also, what is the recommendation for the min and max? I just want to double check my selections before running simulations because they take a long time.
Thank you for your time and consideration
Hi Ibrahim,
With regard to size and run time if you scale by 'radius' the time-step has a linear scale with this. So scale by 0.5 means simulation time-step with be reduced by 0.5 and simulations will take 2x longer, if you had the same number of particles.
However reducing size also typically increases the number of particles if you simulate the same volume, so you need to consider the total number of particles also. We have a guide on estimating run time here - https://community.altair.com/community/en/estimating-edem-simulation-run-time?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0116101
This distribution you show gives you a random distribution of sizes for that specific shape, there isn't a way in EDEM currently to automatically vary the shape, you have to specify the shapes required manually (as you seem to have 10 shapes shown in the screenshot) then vary the sizes of each specific shape.

[HyperMesh 2023] Analysis Setup : Field
HyperMesh Field 기능을 통해 빠르게 Load를 재매핑할 수 있습니다.
기존 element를 remesh 후, Load를 따로 재생성할 필요없이 Field기능을 활용하여 손쉽게 재매핑이 가능합니다.
Model Browser 내에서 마우스 우클릭으로 Field를 생성하고 entity editor창을 통해 속성 정의하실 수 있습니다.
FAQ
Q. Field기능은 언제 활용이 가능하나요?
A. 1) 기존 Mesh를 수정 후에 기존에 생성되었던 Load 항목을 재매핑하여 적용할 수 있습니다.
2) .csv 파일(x,y,z, 온도) 의 온도 또는 압력 값을 온도 하중 또는 압력 하중으로 구조 모델에 적용시킬 수 있습니다.
등등 이 외에도 다양한 작업에 Field 기능을 활용할 수 있습니다.
사용 방법
[1. Model Browser 내에서 마우스 우클릭 > Create > Field]
[2. Entity Editor 창에서 Field 속성 적용]
[3. (Continuous, Current model 옵션 선택 시) 재매핑할 element 또는 node를 선택하여 Realize 진행]
- Field 생성을 위한 Source:
- Results: 기존 가지고 있는 result 파일
- Current Model: analysis data file (.bdf, .fem, .inp, 등등). Current Model 선택 시 아래 항목 표시
- Data Source Type
- Source Entity List
- CSV file: x,y,z, value1, value2 discrete data가 포함되어 있는 .csv 파일
- Matrix: matrix query 기능을 이용하여 생성된 load의 matrix file
- HV Current Contour
*Discrete Field는 x,y,z 위치(real) 또는 u,v 위치(parametric)에 대한 data를 활용합니다.
따라서 data point의 적합성에 따라 가장 가까운 point approach 또는 inverse distance linear interpolation(선형 보간) 방법을 사용하여 매핑됩니다.
