A space for simulation related technical resources and discussions.
Fairly often at my house there is a unique furniture or shelving need that we decide to custom make. Now we don’t have any background in wood working or furniture construction and design, but we come up with an idea and work through it with plenty of design changes in the middle of the construction. Our latest project was…
Hi all, We have a new Instructor Led Training offering about “Altair OptiStruct for Acoustics”. For more comprehensive information about OptiStruct for Acoustics, please visit the Altair Learn site (https://learn.altair.com/) under Class Schedule to check for scheduled sessions and register if you are interested.…
What is a for loop? For loops are used to perform the same set of statements repeatedly inside a script. These loops may contain any sort of commands, which are executed a set number of times. The number of executions is determined by the number of elements present in the matrix given to it in its first line. Let’s look at…
S-LINE™, part of Altair® S-CONCRETE™, supports GFRP-reinforced concrete design for continuous beams. This downloadable PDF document goes over a verification example according to the ACI Code 440.11-22 design code for a simply supported beam with concrete girder supports (modeled as pinned supports). The rectangular T-Beam…
Hertzian contact refers to the frictionless contact between two nonconforming bodies. For example, contact between two spheres, a sphere and the surface of a half space, two cylinders, a cylinder and the surface of a half space etc. In the case of the sphere, the initial contact occurs at a point and in the case of the…
Skill Level Advanced Model Overview Repose angle analysis using EDEM and EDEMpy. Simulation setup using EDEM Cal. Tutorial Overview This tutorial is split into 3 parts. The first part uses EDEM stand-alone for analysis of repose angle using in-built tools and manual simulation setup. Part 2 introduces EDEM Cal for…
When working with an OptiStruct model that contains joint elements (JOINTG), it can be useful to review the joint force results as a vector. This article briefly explains how to do so using HyperView. Here is an example setup illustrating this using RPIN joints. The setup is shown below in HyperMesh. The joint forces will…
