Building a Parametric Model with Sketches, Geometry, Variables, and Dimensioning in Altair Inspire. To make a sketch entity parametric in Altair Inspire, you need to add dimensions to the sketch and assign model variables to those dimensions. This allows the entity to be driven by variables, enabling flexible adjustments.…
In the design and analysis of structures like the Architectural building, understanding wind load scenarios is crucial for ensuring both performance and structural integrity. SimSolid proves to be a valuable tool in this evaluation process. Wind loads, generated by air movement around the building, have a significant…
Introduction to Parametric Modeling Parametric modeling allows designers to define relationships between different elements of a model through variables, constraints, and dimensions. This approach allows the user to change the dimensions of one element, and automatically adjust other elements that depend on it. The beauty…
This article provides a comparison of the various Radioss interfaces. Here is a table comparing Lagrangian contact interfaces: Here is a table comparing ALE interfaces: The behavior of a Type 2 interface changes based on the selected SpotFlag parameter. Based on the SpotFlag parameter, a tied interface can have failure…
Background •Cargo transport is a common engineering problem in the aerospace industry •Often, the target of engineering analysis is the total vertical displacement of cargo •If the vertical displacement is too large, cargo could be damaged by the ceiling of the plane •Radioss can model this displacement caused by…
In the world of wristwatch design, achieving the perfect balance between weight and strength is a critical challenge. A lighter watch enhances comfort and wearability, while a robust case ensures durability and protection for the delicate internal mechanisms. This article explores effective techniques to minimize the…
By default, the View Cube appears at the bottom-left corner of the modeling window. And it rotates the model to the nearest possible orientation of the selected face. If that orientation is not the standard, clicking the face again re-aligns the model back to the standard orientation. If the orientation is already…
In this video we will look at the setup and analysis of an arched space truss using S-FRAME. This involves creating cylindrical grids, cloning geometry, and more. For more information on S-FRAME, check out our website: www.altair.com/s-frame
In this video we will explore how to model circular panels using S-FRAME's Panel Element Tool.
A transfer chute is a critical component in material handling systems, commonly found in mining industries. It is essentially a passage through which bulk materials are transferred from one conveyor to the other. In these systems, dust is an unwanted byproduct, and its generation can not only cause operational…
