Let’s have a look at the key features and improvements of Altair® Flux® 2022.1!

CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT OF ALTAIR® FLUX® SOLVING IN ALTAIR® SIMLAB® INTERFACE

Altair® Flux® can now be run through Altair® SimLab®, a very powerful and easy-to-use environment for multiphysics studies. This is available for 2D magnetostatic and transient modeling as well as 3D electrostatic and magnetostatic modeling. New capabilities have been added to this new interface, to allow the calculation of demagnetization effects and also iron losses. And all losses can now be exported in h3d format, to be used as sources for thermal analysis. For NVH analysis of eMotors, great improvements have also been added. Several tutorials are available for you to discover the SimLab capabilities for eMotor multiphysics studies:

 


 

GO FASTER WITH DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING

Distributed computing allows expediting parametric studies with Altair® Flux®. In the case of iron loss computations, you will experience faster computation times. Distribution is also directly available and easy to use on Linux now, with a new Distribution Manager.

And when using FeMT for the production of efficiency maps, you can submit all calculations to a cluster using PBS, allowing access to the computing power of clusters.

FREE MOVEMENT

Do you want to simulate a complex movement? You can do it using the new 6 DoFs movement capability, which is available in transient.

You can drive directly the position and angle parameters using tabular values, or control them using a co-simulation with Altair® Activate®.

See this article [Rotor Eccentricity modeling in Flux®] showing how it can be used to evaluate the effect of dynamic eccentricities.

AND ALSO:

  • New PEEC solver, providing faster solving due to parallel computing and with less memory requirement
  • Improved accuracy of efficiency maps in FeMT, especially close to the borders
  • Update of the Java version to Java 11
  • Removal of the log4j vulnerability (update to log4j 2.17.1)

 

Discover these improvements in more detail by looking at the Release Notes of Altair® Flux® 2022.1 

You can also find the full documentation online: 

Altair® Flux® can be downloaded on the Altair One Marketplace (with your account) here.

 

Enjoy Altair® Flux® 2022.1 version!

    Hi Yann and Vincent,

    Can this latest release of Simlab analyse induction heating?

    Hi Gary,
    Not yet, we are working in this direction (All the application you can done in Flux will be in Simlab)

    In the mean time you can use Flux

    Hi Yann,

    Thank you for confirming this.
