Designing high-performance electric motors isn’t just about maximizing torque or minimizing ripple — it’s about making sure the design can actually be manufactured and survive real-world stresses. That’s where topology optimization comes in. What is Topology Optimization? Topology optimization (TO) is a design method that…
Electric motors drive our world forward, but hidden behind their efficiency is a subtle factor few talk about: lamination punching. Why Punching Matters in Motor Design Most Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSMs) are built from laminations — thin sheets of electrical steel stacked together. To manufacture these…
In this video, learn how to perform a multi-speed NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) analysis using Altair SimLab. This workflow enables engineers to evaluate system behavior across multiple operating speeds, helping identify and mitigate potential NVH issues early in the design process. ✅ What You’ll Learn: 1) Setting…
Alternate Installerとは？ 製品をダウンロードする際、次の2種類のインストーラーが表示される場合があります。 「製品名＋バージョン」：Xpress Installer 「製品名＋バージョン＋Alternate Installer」：Alternate Installer Alternate Installerが用意されている製品では、通常の「製品名＋バージョン」のインストーラーをXpress Installerと呼びます。 Xpress InstallerとAlternate Installerの違い 両者の大きな違いは、必要なモジュールをいつダウンロードするか？です。 ● Xpress Installer…
In finite element analysis (FEA), the accuracy of your simulation is only as good as the input data - particularly the material properties. In safety-critical applications such as aerospace, defense, and automotive, using nominal or average material properties is not enough. These values don’t account for natural…
Hi PhysicsAI users, When performing prediction using inputs via ‘Global’ or ‘Nodal’ Hooks approach in PhysicsAI, the below mentioned considerations are important to be followed. The CAD or solver deck to be used for prediction should have an associated .json file named _predict_inp.json which should be saved in…
We recently released a new eLearning course, Virtual Die Tryout Analysis with Inspire Form. Explore tryout analysis for forming. Build the skills needed to set up and analyze complex multi-stage stamping processes with tools and blanks in Inspire Form. Learn about Virtual Die Tryout Analysis, at your own pace! Virtual Die…
For Part 1, see here: https://community.altair.com/discussion/64350/buckling-studies-of-a-short-span-steel-girder-bridge-part-1 What Have We Learned: The Nonlinear Static analyses, an inherently more accurate analysis type than the P-Delta types, predicts that buckling will occur at approximately 5x of the “Dead + Self…
This document aims to introduce the various ways one can study buckling behavior in S-FRAME. We will examine this using a generic steel girder bridge structure, which has been deliberately altered to weaken it, hence allowing us to illustrate buckling behavior. The modifications from the original design include: Reduction…
The need for fibers in EDEM Fibers are fundamental in some industries like Agriculture, Construction, Fabrics Manufacturing or Battery Manufacturing, among others. EDEM has been used in the past in simulations within these fields, but it did not offer a model specifically designed for fibers. The Fibers Bonding model is a…
