Optimization capabilities within Inspire Structure – Altair Inspire Creating a feasible design to meet the requirements of a project is only half of the struggle. Just because a design is feasible (it conforms to the specifications) does not imply that it is an optimal design. Optimal designs conform to the specifications whilst having the best … Read more
Material model calibration techniques in EDEM – Altair EDEM Discrete element simulations are dictated by the bulk material model, particle geometry, and the contact models used in the simulation pre-processing stage. Within Altair EDEM we start by defining the bulk material properties and contact models. These can be determined using manual calibration, the GEMM database, … Read more
Automatic identification and definition of bolted contacts Altair SimSolid™ Performing simulations on complex assemblies is an arduous task as the connection between each part interface must be defined. Certain simulation packages can identify part interfaces and automatically create a bonded contact definition at each of these interface locations. Bonded contact areas are treated as if … Read more
Blogs Simulation. Radically change the way you innovate Engineering simulations enable designers and manufacturers to develop mechanisms and structures that are more robust, and that can withstand the test of time. Three notable simulation types include: nonlinear structural simulations, computational fluid dynamics, and manufacturing simulations. Nonlinear structural simulations Nonlinear structural simulations can be performed using … Read more
