A space for simulation related technical resources and discussions.
Use the following steps to calculate normalized von Mises stress in HyperView: 1. Load the solverdeck and the result file while the Result-Math template is set to Advanced. 2. Click Results to open the Expression Builder. 3. Within the Expression Builder, in the Label field, enter NormalizedStress. 3. Select Stress from…
To find entities that are near the selected entities, within a specified distance, you can use the Nearby Function. The following example shows how to find elements nearby a system, within a distance of R = 20 mm. In the Options menu you can choose between show and isolate. Sphere and Box are available as search methods.…
In HyperMesh the global numeric format can be set via File/Preferences/HyperMesh/Appearance/Numerical Format. If you determine the area/volume/mass using the Measure satellite icon, you get the global numerical accuracy. You can change the numerical precision via the options menu. In order to have the results displayed…
The eLearning course, Introduction to Twin Activate v2023, is now available on learn.altair.com! Twin Activate is a 1-D block diagram, Multiphysics simulation environment enabling the modeling of signal based and physical based systems. This course will introduce the user to creating models using signal block libraries and…
Most of the time, results of uniaxial tensile tests are used to explain plastic strain. That usually leads to an assumption that greater total strain leads to greater plastic strain (and vice versa). This statement only applies to uniaxial tensile test results and not to crash simulations generally. Figure 1: Uniaxial…
