This script allows you to extract the cog and mass values of components in a FEM file without running the HyperMesh GUI. 1. Modify the fem file path in test_for_batch https://us.v-cdn.net/6038102/uploads/A3BA032YUI7D/test-for-batch.tcl .tcl file 2. Run the batch.exe file in the cmd window. "C:\Program…
Incomplete material data can be a major roadblock in simulation workflows - especially when accuracy, multi-physics compatibility, and solver-readiness are critical. The Materials Intelligence capability in Altair® Material Data Center™ (AMDC) addresses this challenge head-on by automatically identifying and filling data…
This article provides a step-by-step guide for performing a structural analysis on polyhedral particles using force data exported from an EDEM simulation. The workflow involves mapping EDEM forces onto a finite element mesh in HyperMesh and running a static analysis in OptiStruct. Note: This workflow is specifically…
