A space for simulation related technical resources and discussions.
In Flux, two types of magnet orientation are predefined and easy to set: radial and orthoradial orientation. On the other hand, if the orientation is in a specific direction, a separate coordinate system should be created for the magnets. Then, the magnetization direction should be assigned within the description of the…
Lets take a look at some of the important new and improved capabilities in the new HyperView user interface. Hotspot Finder Use the Hotspot Finder tool to find critical regions of your model based on a plotted result, filter the entities based on selection set, threshold values, minimum separation, and load cases. In…
Abstract In this article, it is described how to access sensor data on SQL databases using Python integration on Altair Activate. Altair Activate is an open and flexible integration platform for systems simulation. Besides block-based modeling, it supports in the same environment different languages such as Open Matrix…
The process of homogenization and dehomogenization of a lattice structure is demonstrated in this document for linear analysis using three examples. This document should not be treated as a step by step tutorial. Only an overview of the process is presented. The user is expected to have prior experience doing basic tasks…
Code Compliance The 2022.3 release of the S-FRAME Suite of tools includes useful design functionality updates related to Steel, Timber, Concrete, and Connection Design Checks. * S-TIMBER now supports Automatic Member Design of timber and steel members. This capability allows users to let the software automatically select,…
From the part browser, several predefined configurations are available ; and one of them is named 'Tetra 5mm'. But, during your first tries, you might encounter an annoying behavior and get this kind of error message: To make it work, the PDM MeshFlag attribute of your part should be set to SMT (Solid Mesh Tetra) or SMH…
This white paper discusses the comparison process and script used to compare baseline and optimized models of an engine cradle.
An Introductory Webinar to Morfeo by Cenaero - Now Available Through the Altair Partner Alliance. Morfeo is a powerful software that relies on several dedicated libraries written in C++ for mesh management, mesh adaptation, material behavior, finite element features, solvers, and parallelism. With its extended finite…
NONLINEAR HARDENING MODELLING IN OPTISTRUCT Strain hardening is the process that makes a material harder and stronger as a result of plastic deformation. In general, plastic deformation moves existing microstructural dislocations in the material and generates additional ones which result in a reduction of ductility and…
Studied device This study case is devoted to the modeling and analysis of an axial flux machine with one internal rotor and two external stators. The motor geometry and meshing description are defined by using the AFM modeling tool, as shown below Basic EM analysis All physics definitions of the motor can be realized by…
