A space for simulation related technical resources and discussions.
As part of the AEC Global Technical Team (GTT) strategies for this year, it was decided to perform short webinars covering some topics that might not be extensive enough for a 1-hour discussion. April 24th was the starting date to perform these short webinars. Presenting the event called "Using S-CALC section properties…
Experience a revolutionary way to mesh electromagnetic components with the all-new EM Aided Mesh tool in SimLab, now available in Altair SimLab/Flux 2025! 🚀 🔹 Key Highlights: ✅ Automated & Intelligent Meshing – Reduce manual effort and speed up your workflow ✅ Optimized for Electromagnetic Simulations – Improve accuracy…
We are just 1 week away from our first global ATCx AEC, a one-day virtual event dedicated to transforming the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector. After the main session, don’t miss the Facades track—an opportunity to dive deeper into the latest digital innovations transforming facade design. Explore…
A significant proportion of food produced globally is never consumed, with around 14% lost between production and retail [1]. While food loss can occur at various stages of the supply chain, improving bulk material handling in food processing—through virtual testing and system optimization—can help reduce losses and…
Flow Simulator (FS), like many iterative solvers, can have convergence issues. This discussion provides some information on the FS solver and provides some suggestions to address convergence issues. Introduction The FS solver uses an iterative procedure to solve for the element flow rates and nonboundary chamber pressures.…
Adding C functions to your Altair Embed model is simple using the "Extern Definition" block and "Extern Function" block. The Extern Definition block lets you supply any legal file scope C syntax, such as structures with initializers, #includes, #pragmas, typedefs, arrays, and function definitions. The Extern Function block…
Classical MoM-based Methods in Computational Electromagnetics Simulation use a mesh discretization with triangle elements on surface structures. Each triangle represents basis functions to describe the current distribution on the surface. The Rao–Wilton–Glisson (RWG) basis functions (named after their inventors) are…
Altair will host our first global ATCx AEC, a one-day virtual event dedicated to transforming the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector on Wednesday, April 30, 2025. Following the main session, engage with industry leaders in the Structural Timber Design Track to explore the progressive role of timber in…
In Additive Manufacturing (via Binder Jetting, Metal Injection Molding, Metal FDM, Ceramic FFF, and many more similar processes), sintering is a critical step where parts are heated to near-melting temperatures to bond particles together. But during this process, a common challenge arises—part lift. Part lift refers to the…
DSim 2025.0.1 is now available in the Altair Marketplace: https://altairone.com/Marketplace?queryText=dsim&tab=Info&app=DSim This version fixes several issues with the initial release of DSim: https://help.metrics.ca/support/solutions/articles/154000221818-release-2025-0-1 If you have already installed a previous version…
