Tracing Pi – Altair Global Digital Twin Contest APAC Zone Winner!!

Rahul_P1

The winners from APAC are two batchmates from India, Yash Thool and Piyush Deshmukh. They are enthusiastic mechanical undergraduates who hoped to learn about a new tool and technology of the Digital Twin to expand their horizons and have a new experience. The Altair BBT contest served as a perfect platform for this. The duo started off by selecting an appropriate logo for the ball to trace. They selected the Pi symbol as it consisted of both sharp corners and smooth contours. Next, they extracted the coordinates for this symbol using Altair Embed and processed these coordinated further in Altair Compose. Appropriate filters, ball speed and idle time were added to these time coupled coordinates so as to make the path smoother. In Altair Activate, further processing was done like scaling and offset so as to fit the symbol on the table. A proper controller and solver mode was chosen and the rendering procedure was initiated. The Altair Inspire Studio's features were used to make the rendering photorealistic and perfectly display the result of intricate processing. The submission demonstrates the potential of the Digital twin technology and its role in the rapidly advancing digital world.
