This guest contribution is written by Renganathan Sekar, M.Sc., a research engineer at MFRC, the developers of the intelligent metal forming simulation software AFDEX which is available through the Altair Partner Alliance. Recent advances in traditional metal forming processes have given … Read More
This is a guest post from Håkan Fransson, technical simulation manager at NovaCast Systems, a member of the Altair Partner Alliance. When a casting part is produced, a high amount of energy is generated since we need to melt the metal … Read More
Typically, there are two ways of considering variation of load over time in a finite element-based fatigue analysis: The road load data is integrated in the finite element (FE) analysis directly. The results in the form of transient stress responses … Read More
When designing antennas for mobile devices or other electrically small devices, the antenna operation is tuned with a matching circuit to make the antenna operate at the desired frequency bands. A common misconception is that the goal of impedance matching … Read More
Design programs that both help users create components made of plastics and meet quality assessments and strength needs, are scarcely available in many commercial software solutions. PART Engineering, a member of the Altair Partner Alliance (APA), saw this lack of … Read More
Guest authors – Scott Ragon, Ilya Tolchinsky, and Olivier Morisot from Phoenix Integration Designing a modern electric motor for an electrified automobile requires striking the perfect balance between cost, weight, and performance. From a modeling and simulation standpoint, predicting the … Read More
Guest Contributor: Graham Jackson, engineering marketing specialist Maplesoft When designing electric and hybrid-electric vehicles, it is almost impossible to overstate the importance of batteries. There’s a growing commercial drive to increase energy density, extend battery life, and improve overall charge and … Read More
Guest Contributor: Dave Jacobsen, Lambda Research Corporation The quick answer is, of course not. The first question really should be, what is TIR. TIR stands for Total Internal Reflection, and is the guiding principle of fiber optics, light guides, and … Read More
