When building a CAE model, there are a lot of information you should input in order to successfully run your analysis and of course, to have reasonable results. In this article we will show a couple of tools and features we have available within HyperWorks and OptiStruct to validate your model and avoid error messages and…
Use case The plane strain formulation assumes that the strains in the plane perpendicular to the axis (or simply out-of-plane) are zero or irrelevant. When running a CAE analysis, using the plane strain assumption can lead to considerable savings in computational time and file storage. The simplification to a 2D mesh also…
As we introduced several significant changes for Abaqus in 2022, the article below isolates form the general release notes the improvments that are related to Abaqus. 2022.3 Significant changes: Enhancements * Sub-Categories for Load Collectors in Abaqus Interface Load collectors are now organized into sub-categories in…
This article is a practical guide on how to feed a microstrip patch antenna on a finite ground using a pin feed. As an example, we will look at a microstrip patch antenna fed by a coaxial cable via an SMA connector from below the patch. The front and side (section) view of the physical microstrip patch antenna for…
This article is a practical guide on how to feed a microstrip patch antenna on an infinite ground using an edge feed. As an example, we will have a look at a microstrip patch antenna fed by a coaxial cable via an SMA connector connected to a feed line. The front and side (section) view of the physical microstrip patch…
This article is a practical guide on how to feed a microstrip patch antenna on a finite ground using a waveguide source. As an example, we will look at a microstrip circular patch antenna with a feed line connected by an SMA connector to a coaxial cable. The front and side (section) view of the physical microstrip patch…
This article is a practical guide on how to feed a microstrip annular-ring slot antenna on a finite ground using an edge feed. As an example, we will have a look at a microstrip annular-ring slot antenna with a feed line that is connected by an SMA connector to a coaxial cable. The front and side (section) view of the…
Why are non-structural mass now considered as Solver Mass entities? For a long time Abaqus *NONSTRUCTURALMASS, as Radioss /ADMASS, LS Dyna *ELEMENT_MASS… were considered as either elements or groups in HyperMesh, depending on the user profile. We are currently brining some structural changes in HyperMesh for improving…
Altair® EDEM™ 2022.3 is now available from the Altair Marketplace. This release represents the culmination of the effort to provide full alignment between our CPU and GPU solvers, allowing EDEM users to benefit from a great GPU performance with all EDEM capabilities enabled. This, in addition to new capabilities to reduce…
In this release we have significant enhancements providing new model setup workflows for Thermal analysis and Optimization in OptiStruct interface: * OptiStruct thermal cards migrated to appropriate HM entities for ease of thermal analysis setup * CHBDYE, CONV, PCONV are migrated to Set segment, Load, Property entities…
