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
