Hypermesh proposes the Boolean Operations tool to list elements/node and create new sets. You can set Boolean operations with the following types: * Union * Intersection * Union-Intersection * Remove list B from list A * Remove list A from list B This tool can be found under Aerospace->Sets->Boolean On Sets (Optistruct and…

Changes in the file format In Altair PSIM v2022.x a new file format is used for thermal models. In v2021, device thermal models were stored in a proprietary binary format (.dev). In the current release a “.xml” file is used with the following characteristics: * Can be edited both with PcdEditor and any text editor. * Only…
How to create a variable capacitor in PSIM Following the adaptations of variable resistors and inductors within PSIM, this article focuses on the creation of a variable capacitor model. This model will allow the users to navigate between different capacitances and even utilize cap value look-up tables in a structured…
How to create a variable inductor in PSIM Have you ever wanted to craft your unique circuit components within PSIM? Well, good news! With a variety of math blocks and controlled sources blocks, PSIM empowers you to do so seamlessly. Among the most frequently customized passive components are the variable resistor, variable…
In this video, we explain how to check if the mesh is periodic and apply it on a Flux2D or 3D model. This can be done manually or using the "complete infinite box" function which can define this easily in most cases.
The goal of this article is to share with the Altair community the results of the internship conducted in 2017 on Burried mine detonation study. This internship was conducted by Harish PRAKASH with supervision of Mathis LOVERINI and Adrien ROBERT. You can find attached the full report of this internship and also the…
Applications of Discrete Element Method : Altair EDEM In this article we cover a snapshot of the wide range of possible applications possible with Altair® EDEM™ The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is a particle-scale numerical method for modeling the bulk behaviour of granular materials and many geomaterials such as coal,…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fyHr_F5xWA For engineers developing lawnmowers, it can be very difficult to predict the cut height uniformity of the grass, the effect of blade rotational speeds for the mower blades, and the power required for the mower to work efficiently. Furthermore, the blades of the mower not only cut…
