When performing CFD analysis, model preparation is a hugely time consuming activity but necessary to achieve good quality results. For an efficient CFD analysis process, having the latest pre-processing tools is a must. This webinar, featuring the UK's leading CFD consultancy TotalSim, demonstrates how the latest model build technologies can drastically accelerate your external aerodynamics programmes, freeing up engineers' time to provide design insight and enhance performance, instead of endlessly refining meshes. This presentation focuses on TotalSim's deployment of the industry standard pre-processor, Altair HyperWorks, which comes equipped with a full suite of tools for CFD meshing and model set-up. It covers best practices for geometry preparation as well as tips on how to get the most out of HyperWorks and achieve significant time savings. Speaker: George Maxted, CFD Engineer, TotalSim Ltd.

Altair offers a unique set of simulation tools to evaluate product feasibility, optimize the manufacturing process, and run virtual try-outs for several subtractive and additive manufacturing processes, including casting, injection molding, metal forming, extrusion, and 3d-printing. In this session, users will learn how to validate designs early in the manufacturing process with the simplicity and affordability of the Inspire family of products.

The motion module included in Altair® Inspire™ enables engineers to evaluate the dynamic response of products and optimize their performance. Dynamic motions of complex systems are easily generated, automatically identifying contacts, joints, springs, and dampers. Motors and actuators can be added and tuned interactively. In this session, you will learn how to simulate complex mechanisms, extract loads, and run analysis and optimization on individual mechanical components.

Composite Pressure Vessels (CPV) play an important role in the emerging market for the fuel cell electric vehicles, but there are also numerous more traditional application areas for CPVs. The filament winding process used for the manufacturing of CPVs ties the possible fiber paths to the manufacturing process. Hence, in the design and analysis of CPVs it is important to include both the manufacturing and structural simulation. The webinar shows how Altair software interface with third-party filament winding simulation software to create CPV structural models using different level of details according to analysis needs. The use of multiscale material modeling provides means for accurate damage and failure predictions of CPVs.

3D printed lattice structures increase the design freedom in areas of the design where, for example, the full stiffness of the material is not needed, or a specific anisotropic material behavior is beneficial. At the same time the high geometric complexity on a scale below the standard modelling element size makes it extremely difficult to include all anisotropic effects in the standard CAE model and keep the same numeric efficiency together with the same accuracy of results. Using multiscale approaches like Altair Multiscale Designer to link microscale geometric features with a standard macro CAE model combines both scales in a highly efficient way and enables the numeric efficient and highly accurate simulation of lattice structures on component and assembly level.

The next generation HyperWorks experience was created to enable teams to move from physics to physics, domain to domain or even create reports without ever leaving their simulation model. Every tool in the suite delivers a solution-specific workflow with a meticulously designed and discoverable user-interface, differentiated for each user profile, but still familiar across the toolset. Altair started delivering on this vision with the initial release of Inspire and has continued to bring more and more functionality to its customers with each release. Now, the next generation HyperMesh provides a modern environment for meshing, modeling, and morphing with no loss of existing functionality for long-term customers.
