Mastering structural analysis in seconds to minutes!

Altair


Attention young scientists - Are you ready to strengthen your skills in structural analysis and design? Join us for a transformative learning experience using cutting-edge Altair technologies!

With proven accuracy every time, Altair offers industry-leading engineering analysis and optimization tools from simulation-driven design concepts to detailed virtual product validation and simplified modeling workflows to advanced high-fidelity model building. In this workshop, our expert facilitator will guide you through an interactive session, that combines the presentation of selected Altair technologies, with hands-on, live modelling of two real case studies and insightful discussions, providing you with the expertise to tackle structural challenges. Whether you're just starting out or looking to upskill, this workshop is for you.

Our technologies at a glance:

Altair® OptiStruct®

OptiStruct solves a comprehensive range of nonlinear problems using both implicit and explicit methods that includes simulation of small and large displacements, material nonlinearity, and advanced contacts. For more than two decades OptiStruct topology optimization has driven the lightweight and structurally efficient designs of products you see and use every day.

Altair® Radioss®

Radioss has established itself as an industry leader to evaluate and optimize product performance for automotive crash and safety, shock and impact, drop, terminal ballistic, blast and explosion, and high velocity impacts. For numerous, diverse industries worldwide, Radioss is a versatile and comprehensive high-performance explicit finite element (FE) solver, based on solid- and fluid dynamics.

Altair SimSolid®

Structural Analysis for Rapid Design Iterations.
By performing structural analyses on fully featured CAD assemblies within minutes, Altair SimSolid is the game-changing simulation technology for designers, engineers, and analysts. It eliminates geometry preparation and meshing: the two most time-consuming, expertise-extensive, and error-prone tasks performed in a conventional structural simulation.

Hands on Demo:

SimSolid performs meshless structural analysis that works on full featured parts and assemblies, is tolerant of geometric imperfections, and runs in seconds to minutes. In this tutorial, we will do the following:

Model 1 Description

There are two different pullup bar models used in this exercise. Each model has 33 parts. We will perform two static structural analyses for the following:
2 load cases of 750N (168 lbf) total load on different handle locations
2 different design configurations with varying support brackets

Model 2 Description

There is an optimized bracket part connected to pipes with bolts. We will define a non-linear Material based on stress-strain data and perform a structural non-linear analysis (material and contact).


DAY TIME PLACE
Saturday 12:00 - 13:30 Room 205

Meet our facilitator: Dr. Panagiotis Natsiavas, Technical Manager - East Europe.

Dr. Panagiotis S. Natsiavas received his bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) in June 2012. After graduating, he continued his studies in the United States of America (USA), where he received a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from California Institute of Technology (CALTECH) in June 2013. At the same university he completed his doctoral dissertation on “Stability of Electrode-Electrolyte Interfaces during Charging in Lithium Batteries” and was awarded a Ph.D. in the same department in June 2016. He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher on developing a computational model to explain experimental observation of shock wave propagation in glass under intense loading conditions at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for one year. In 2018, after completing his military service in Hellenic Air-Force, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher on modeling and simulation of integrated process systems for carbon dioxide capture at Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH). Since March 2019, he joined Altair Engineering Inc, in the offices located in Thessaloniki, Greece. He holds a position as a technical manager helping customers to efficiently use Altair tools. His expertise lies in simulating, analyzing and solving structural mechanic problems.
