The myth goes like this: A shot with no backspin will hit the rim and then tragically bounce away with no chance of going in. In contrast, the magic of spinning somehow slows the ball down during the impact(s) and … Read More

With March Madness beginning today (US college basketball tournament), I was asked to create a basketball simulation, so here we go! Let’s try a three-pointer with backspin from 8 meters. It hits the back board a bit low and off … Read More

At Altair, we have seen an acceleration of IoT (Internet of Things) adoption across almost every industry. For this year, we expect these 3 major trends to gain momentum: 1. More IoT dedicated networks available and adopted: In years past, … Read More

We must often strike the right balance between the computational time and accuracy of our simulation. Simplification/removal of unimportant CAD features, locally refined mesh, and usage of equivalent elements are some proven methodologies to reduce the calculation time. If the … Read More

According to Wikipedia, “Multiphysics is a computational discipline which treats simulations that involve multiple physical models or multiple simultaneous physical phenomena.  For example, combining chemical kinetics and fluid mechanics or combining finite elements with molecular dynamics. Multiphysics typically involves solving coupled systems of partial differential equations.” What does this imply for … Read More
