It can be a misunderstanding that thermal models are modeling and simulating the losses of a switching device. The correct way of understanding them is to think of them as a calculator that uses information from the datasheet to obtain losses. Thermal switch models are based on an ideal switch model and rely on the…
The weight factor in RBE3 Elements can be used to control distribution of forces applied on dependent node to be transferred to independent nodes. One can edit the weighting factors of an RBE3 to simulate different scenarios. To edit the weighting factors of an RBE3 in HyperMesh, you can use the following steps: 1. Double…
The aim of this article is to show and provide a script which allows the user to import a file and then convert it into an Implicit Modeling using the API Python in Inspire. This script can be taken as a reference to be replicated in further and different workflows. For this example, the model used is in the Demo Browser…
The purpose of this article is to provide more details on the steps described in the attached video showing the above-mentioned workflow. To begin with this article, it is important to mention that this is an easy introduction to the Fluids Analysis included in Inspire. In the same way, the model used in this tutorial is…
The main objective of this article is to show the workflow involved in simulating, optimizing and modifying a part using the different tools and capabilities of Inspire. It means that the structural analysis is realized to confirm the performance followed by a topology optimization. In addition, the way to create a lattice…
Hello Everyone, Please find the below newly added features which will be available in the upcoming SimLab release (SimLab 2024.1). Solution: Electro Magnetics Solver: Flux * Thin Region: MAC3D/MT3D Solution > Analysis * Thin regions have been added to MAC3D and MT3D solutions. * Different types available depending on the…
Introduction In advanced engineering simulations, the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) are two important methods for understanding and predicting the behavior of materials and structures under various conditions. For bulk materials, simulations are often done using DEM software like Altair®…
Trimming Process In Die Casting The trimming process in die casting is a critical step that follows the casting of parts. It involves the removal of excess material, such as flash and runners, from the casting to achieve the final desired shape and dimensions. Here’s an overview of the trimming process in die casting:…
Porosity in High Pressure Die Casting Porosity in high-pressure die casting (HPDC) refers to the presence of air or gas pockets within the casting material, which can affect the structural integrity and quality of the final product. Here are some key points about porosity in HPDC: * Causes of Porosity: * Gas Entrapment:…
Join us for a webinar that explains the NBCC and ASCE 7 Wind Load Generators in Altair S-FRAME. We will discuss the model setup, the assumptions, and methodology used on enclosed structural models. This will allow S-FRAME users to automatically create wind loading on their structures according to their desired building…
