This is an introductory course for using HyperMesh CFD to create and set up finite element (CFD) models for CFD analysis. A combination of lectures and exercises will familiarize students with the HyperMesh environment, process, and suite of tools needed to start using HyperMesh in their work.

A growing number of companies aspire to perform multiphysics, but each added analysis tool introduces new complexity to a development process. Model translation, remeshing, design modification – these tasks offer no added value and increase the likelihood of error. Altair SimLab enables users to model and solve multiple physics, including nonlinear analysis, within one unified platform. Each analysis runs from one master model, allowing you to spend less time prepping and more time solving. Join the webinar to see these powerful workflows in action. In this webinar, we will demo the design of a smart speaker with an emphasis on nonlinear analysis, multiphysics, and improving perceived sound with vibro-acoustic simulation.

This webinar will consider new approaches to the old problems of optimized execution, the role of new technologies including artificial intelligence (AI) in improvement, and how to implement and integrate tools and technologies to build an efficient and cost-effective technology stack.

Most traditional simulations take too long to complete and takes significant toll on the vehicle manufacturer’s capability to arrive at an optimal design that considers styling and aerodynamic performance. In this webinar, we introduce you to Altair’s ultraFluidX, a GPU based Lattice Boltzmann solver that delivers unbeatable performance and overnight transient simulations of full vehicle aerodynamics on a single server. We will discuss the challenges in executing a full vehicle transient simulation and demonstrate how ultraFluidX technology and workflow helps you to overcome many of these with tremendous ease. We will also discuss some of the unique features that helps you perform multiple design analysis cycles with an unprecedented level of automation.

The key element of an electric vehicle (EV) is the battery and batteries are known to produce heat during their charge-discharge cycle. An efficient thermal management system (TMS) is of paramount importance. The battery TMS affects the cost, life, and range of the EV. A battery TMS study or an EV TMS study involves the use of thermal and fluid physics and Altair’s AcuSolve (Computational Fluid Dynamics based Simulation Technology), was used to carry out this study. The importance of finding new methods for effectively and accurately designing TMS that control temperature and optimize the performance of Li-ion batteries. This can be used to study and optimize the Battery Thermal Management System and other Thermal Management requirements arising in an electric vehicle which involves both active and passive cooling. A similar issue of heat (unwanted) exists in Motors as well, in this, we shall cover the Multiphysics simulation of Motors which shall include both electromagnetics and CFD Thermal studies of both air and liquid coolant motors.

Replacement of traditional combustion engines with an electric powertrain, bring electro-mechanical induced tonal and high-frequency whine noise. In addition, tire and aerodynamic turbulent noise become more prominent in the absence of a standard Internal Combustion Engine. Also, the perceived sound quality imposes a new set of challenges. This leads to completely new methods of NVH refinement, keeping the decades of research aside. As it is important to address these issues at the design and development stage, adopting the new simulation techniques to manage future NVH challenges in e-Mobility is of the prime challenge to the traditional NVH engineers. In this webinar, we shall discuss some of those key NVH challenges specific to electric vehicles and appropriate simulation processes to develop countermeasures.

Electric Vehicles (EV) are complex systems and need to be connected, automated, lighter & smarter all at once. This calls for systems engineering where different systems are seen whole instead of in silos. Experience e-Mobility Simulation using Altair Model-Based System simulation solutions with real-time motor controller implementation on HIL (Hardware in the loop) with the micro-controller. Its intuitive block diagram environment allows users to model and simulate continuous and discrete dynamical systems, mix signal-based, physical modeling and Co-simulation with electro-magnetic & multi-body dynamics. End to end system-level virtual simulation for complete e-Mobility is made possible.

Watch this webinar to see a demonstration of a multiphysics simulation approach using the Altair HyperWorks platform for the analysis of airborne radomes for electromagnetic , structural, aerodynamic, and bird strike performances.

This webinar shows Altair's streamlined thermal fluid-structure interaction workflow for powertrain components. Leveraging Altair's CFD and structural analysis solvers, SimLab now offers a streamlined workflow that enables pre-, solver, and post-processing for thermal FSI within a single interface. The webinar will cover extraction of fluid surfaces to build CFD domains from solid bodies, defining loads and constraints, solver setting for conjugate heat transfer (CHT) and computing deflections and thermal stresses and post-processing structural and thermal-flow results.

Electromagnetic phenomenon may induce undesired effects such as heat or vibrations. To predict and correct them by simulation, it is necessary to couple all phenomenon. Altair HyperWorks software suite is a perfect solution for this and in this webinar, two use cases will be demonstrated, where Flux is coupled with OptiStruct and AcuSolve.

This webinar covers the complete fail-safe optimization process of a wing rib starting with the search of a new and more efficient design to the calculation of optimum dimensions. The replacement of a metallic fitting by an organic 3D printed version, while increasing performances and decreasing mass reduction is discussed as well. HyperStudy has also been used to perform multi-disciplinary studies throughout the process.

Altair’s AcuSolve CFD solver is capable of simulating complex multiphysics phenomenon including Heat Transfer-CFD coupling. In this webinar, two use cases are presented, using two very different calculation approaches.

Altair’s HyperWorks software suite offers a wide variety of solvers able to simulate complex physical phenomenon, including multiphysics. Therefore, complex FSI applications can be solved, such as ditching or aeroelasticity, as will be shown in the two use cases presented in this 40 minute webinar. Use Case #1: Ditching Simulations with RADIOSS Ditching simulations may be very complex to simulate as they involve a large domain of fluid, complex fluid flow and potentially highly non-linear structural behavior involving buckling and failures. The purpose of the presentation is to show the capacities of the transient dynamic explicit code RADIOSS part of Altair’s HyperWorks for such simulations, featuring the ALE approach, a CEL interface to couple structure and fluid, efficient algorithms such as multidomain to speed up calculation applied on both experimental and full vehicle models. Use Case #2: Winglet Optimization Winglets are intended to reduce fixed-wing aircraft’s drag by partial recovery of the tip vortex energy but care must be taken as potential problems such as flutter and structural considerations may negate aerodynamic improvements. Altair’s HyperStudy software is a tool of choice to design and optimize the winglet therefore improving the aircraft performances. To achieve these results, a process was designed by coupling OptiStruct and AcuSolve to calculate aerodynamic and structural performances. The coupling was then encapsulated in HyperStudy to optimize the design.

This short webinar will discuss coupling of aerodynamics loading, structures vibration, mechanisms deployment and hydraulics actuation in the simulation of a high lift device. This session also includes the simulation of structure loads and actuation efficiency during flight maneuvers. A fatigue analysis ensures the longevity of the new design.

Fluidized beds are used in process industries such as pharmaceutical, food processing, and chemical industries for applications like powder mixing, coating, heating, and drying. Fluidization is a complex process and depends on various parameters such as powder properties, bed design, and operating conditions to name a few. CFD-DEM simulations have proven themselves to be a cost and time-effective approach to understand the effect of these parameters on the performance of fluidized beds. In this webinar, we will look at how AcuSolve-EDEM coupling can be applied to fluidized beds and investigate the effects of some design changes and operating conditions.
