Omkar Sarkar

I am Omkar Vikas Sarkar, a final year  Mechanical Engineering student from Savitribai Phule Pune University.

CAD-CAM and CAE Enthusiast, interested in research projects in CAD, CAM arena. Feeling excited to work with new Altair products and research things. 

A digital twin is new concept for me to work with.

Manjunath Neelmath

Hello, I am Manjunath an Aerospace Engineering 4th year student from bangalore. For me simulating the things from the idea before building it, feels so exciting. Before when I was not introduced to the simulation software I used to build and then test, and the probability of success was less but after introducing to simulation in my 2nd year of engineering, me and my friends have simulated a delta wing design and tested if it generates Lift and it was success when we built it in real. So, from then onwards I have developed an interest in these software. More over we can save the time and money to build any project.

Nathan Silva

Hello everyone, my name is Nathan Silva and I'm from São Paulo, Brasil. At the moment I'm Mechanical-Aeronautic Engineering Student from Federal University of Itajubá and I'm on the 5º period of the graduation. 

I received the notice about the competition through of the students group and stayed extremally content, given that through it me and my colleagues can learn more about the Altair softwares !!!

Hello, my name is Edoardo, I am studying Computer Engineering. This is a very interesting contest and I am really happy to partecipate because it is a great opportunity to better understand the theory of control. This is my first time using a CAE software. Unfortunately we haven't use any lab during lectures but I am higly motivated to do my best. Good luck everyone!

There was a question about smoothing the path! I was not able to show this step during the webinar - but Nils and I tried some more options - and we succeeded!!

See the following comparison: 

The blue is the original one with steps... and the red the smooth one.

Here is the setup I used:

Please test the same and work with the low pass filer settings!

One comment regarding the Controller Setting:

The Controller 4 in combination with the model 4 (co simulation) will fully utilize the Observer - the most robust controller. (as correction of what is said in the video at 28:40)

BUT please take care that the settings for the observer (x0_est=...) is exactly enhanced as you defined in the trajectory block!! Please take care that m(:,2)-30000/500 is different to (m(:,2)-30000)/500 - please check your exact formula!

@Rahul Ponginan I'm having trouble with installing Inspire studio. It says "unable to load Evoc_UI.dll" (Screenshots attached). I've downloaded it many times and installed it, but still getting same message. I also updated my drivers (suggested in a community post), but didn't work for me.

Please help me out. 

Himanshu Dubey

The brain storming ideas and full access to get complete exposure towards design and simulation behind a real time product that sparks the ignition for creative ideas. Also it will help enhance the practical as well as theoretical knowledge with knowing our depth at best with other competitors from throughout the world wide universities and college

Any questions or concerns regarding the contest or the problem and software can be asked in the competitions forum here and will be answered promptly.

Krzysztof Ćwikła

I'm studying Mechanical Engineering in Wrocław, Poland. I'm also doing my thesis based on OptiStruct optimization. That's how i got to know about the contest.
Software technology used in Digital Twin seems to be perfect for some simulations and prototypes. Great that they included arduino in it, I often use it with my mechatronics projects.
Additional thing that interested me in contest is fact, that these software like Altair Inspire Studio connects two aspects of two interesting programs I use: Engineering of CAD programs with realism animations from VFX programs (like Blender, which I use for my hobby projects).
I'm really interested to dive in and see possibilities of those technologies.

Sedick IBRAHIM

Hi everyone !
I am a PhD student in Mechanical engineering at the University of Haute-Alsace in France.
This contest allowed me to discover with great enthusiasm new software from Altair. I am already familiar with Hyperwork since I use it in the practical work that I teach in finite element. Beyond software, the digital twin of the ball balacing table is a complet and awesome mecatronic project. It’s a pleasure to be part of this community  

nikhil kumar kulakarni

Hello @Rahul Ponginan ,

I am Nikhil Kumar. While rendering in Inspire Studio i didn't find the materials and environments in the studio. Can you please help me with that.

david wu

Hi I am student in National Pingtung University of Science and Technology in Taiwan .

這次參加Altair的比賽，使我在3D領域的學習更加廣闊，以及發揮創意的層面跟多元。

透過豐富的軟體提升學習的品質，且在參加比賽的過程中使我們更加明白工程領域中的應用環境，如何將模擬中的路徑轉換成實際的路線，這使得整場比賽我們都能保持熱情、積極、耐心的去面對。

感謝Altair企業提供這次的機會使我們卓越。
