I have noticed that when using Compose, the CAE reader (I am usinfg readcae) does not update if the file being read is updated. For example, if I read an "results.h3d" using Compose's readcae created a 8am 11-11-2025, and regenerated the "results.h3d" at 10 am, I would not be able to access the revised results unless I…
I am currently conducting a continuous working condition analysis. For the first analysis step, I constrain the 6-directional degrees of freedom of the inner surface of the structure. For the second step, I use RBE2 to couple the aforementioned inner surface and apply a concentrated force at the coupling point. However, an…
Dear Community, I am modeling a composite structure using shell elements and have meshed the surfaces with the freeform tool. However, I noticed that the mesh contains two element types: S4 and S4R. In Abaqus, I normally have the option to choose between full and reduced integration, but I am unsure whether this choice can…
Is it possible to configure HyperMesh 2025 settings to automatically retain components in the database when their parent part instance is deleted? Currently, all components are deleted as well.
Hi I’m performing a nonlinear structural analysis in Altair OptiStruct for an automotive assembly containing several bolted joints. Each bolt is modelled using 3D solid (hex) elements, and contact interactions are defined between mating components. The analysis includes two sequential load cases: Assembly Load (Bolt…
Hello, I am currently helping out at my university for the use of HyperWorks 2024.1, as the Computers at my University are generally not meant for simulations the GPUs are not top of the Line. Now my question is if there are some options in the HyperWorks Programm to decrease the load on the GPU, CPU and RAM usage to…
Dear Professionals, I am currently trying to complete the "Composite optimization of a skateboard with OptiStruct" Tutorial in HyperWorks 2024.1 Now since the Tutorial is written for a older Version it is a little bit more difficult but I managed up until point 3.3.3 Check-run and Phase 2 Optimization Run (The pdf of the…
Hello, I am running a large displacement non linear analysis to check failure with non linear material properties. I am facing some convergence issues due to diverging force. Could you please help me with this. I am attaching a copy of the nl.out file. I have tried using different values in nladapt and other load step…
In the HyperView interface, with the model view perspective fixed, how can I obtain the screen coordinates (x, y) of a global coordinate point (globalX, globalY, globalZ) using a Tcl script? Thank you for your help!
I want to import more python extensions like gc, or lightgbm, sklearn , tokenizers ,transformers,but I didn't find it in the AI Studio extensions market, so I want to ask whether it is possible to import these packages?
