A space for simulation related technical resources and discussions.
Considering the increasing importance and complexity of power electronics, including high switching speeds, temperature regulation, and demands for more efficiency, it is imperative that teams have a resource that delivers insights earlier in the design cycle. Often simulation involves manual, repetitive trial-and-error…
Altair Twin Activate is a very powerful tool for modeling multidomain systems, including digital twins, in 0D (programming languages), 1D (block diagrams) and 3D in cosimulation with domain specific tools. As such, users might often have the need to recreate subsystems with very specific behaviors. Custom blocks are quite…
Altair® EDEM™ 2024 is available on Altair One and includes many important updates and improvements. Central to this release, we have made great progress by delivering key updates to the leading ‘Tavares UFRJ model’ for particle breakage applications. In addition, we have made important improvements to the new model for…
Fields capabilities Fields are an incredibly versatile functionality that enable the creation of model entities based on spatially varying input data. Field entities store spatially varying values, which can later be realized (mapped) to the element and node data of a new target mesh. Fields can be based on a variety of…
There are occasions when the assignment of angled joint loads is needed, whether due to practice reasons or a special connection or geometry is presented. At first sight, angled or diagonal joint loads can't be applied. There are options for member loads to apply them following the Global system or a local system, allowing…
Hello Everyone, Please find the below newly added features which will be available in the upcoming SimLab release (SimLab 2024.1). Solution: Structural Solver: OptiStruct * Create Material: Analysis > Property > Material * Added support for additional creep laws like Norton and Dorn for OptiStruct solutions. Results *…
In this post we discuss how to model a rotary dryer using Altair® EDEM™ coupled with Altair® AcuSolve™. Simulation files with an example already setup can be downloaded from here: * Rotary Dryer Demonstration Kit files Rotary dryers are essential components in a wide range of industrial processes. Their robust and…
Structural design has many applications in construction, including big structures like bridges, high-rise buildings, and state-of-the-art stadiums. However, residential structures like apartment buildings and single-family houses remain a vital part of society, and having an efficient way of getting through the whole…
The attached document contains a zip file with the S-FRAME Academic Blue Book. The Academic Blue Book is a great resource for learning S-FRAME, and while primarily aimed at student users, is available to anyone. This document contains several examples of exercises that are solved by hand calculations, and then again in the…
This document wants to clarify some doubts regarding the different plastic strain outputs created by OptiStruct in a non-linear analysis and how they can be correlated to stresses. Some math computation is presented together with a simple test model subjected to plastic deformation and recovery.
