applications


subscription-based licensing model, where customers use floating licenses to access a broad suite of Altair-developed and third-party soſtware applications on-demand. Te Altair Partner Alliance effectively extends


the HyperWorks Platform from more than 20 internally developed solutions to upwards of 65 applications with the addition of new partner tools, to minimise gaps in soſtware capabilities. Customers can invoke these third-party


applications at no incremental cost using their existing HyperWorks licenses to benefit from unmatched flexibility and access, resulting in maximum soſtware utilisation, productivity and return on investment. More than 20 partners are representing the Altair Partner Alliance (APA) at the European ATC this year. www.altairalliance.com


AVL is a specialist in the development, simulation and testing of powertrains; hybrid, combustion engines, transmission, electric drive, batteries and soſtware for passenger


cars, trucks and large engines. Te business unit Advanced Simulation


Technologies provides comprehensive multi- disciplinary simulation tools in a flexible and open environment supporting all stages of your powertrain development process. Via the Altair Partner Alliance, AVL will


shortly offer the following tools: AVL Excite Acoustics, a new tool for the


calculation of sound radiation in free field from vibrating structures such as engines and power units. AVL Cruise M Flow, provides efficient 1D


thermal fluid flow simulation. It describes the transfer of heat generated in IC Engines through solid structures, air, water and oil circuits to dedicated heat sinks such


CAEfatigue vibration (CFV) is such a product. Tis is a tool that performs fatigue calculations with the same type of data that your iTunes music app might use to visualise your music’s library. As a simple summary of the product it takes transfer functions from solvers like Nastran, Optistruct, Ansys or Abaqus and then creates random response and durability results that can be displayed in post processors like HyperView or Patran. Te new technology has direct applications for both automotive durability design where customers need to be able to apply multiple

as heat exchangers and radiators. AVL Fire SDT, the first version of AVL’s


well-established 3D CFD Soſtware, which is integrated in the new Simulation Desktop, a highly functional and powerful framework for all CAE tools developed at AVL www.avl.com/simulation


CEDREM is an engineering team specialised in simulating high speed phenomena (from


sport impacts and car crashes up to ballistics and explosions) and composite material behaviour, using Finite Element Analysis. Within this framework, a new soſtware suite,


called KTex Family, will be presented during EATC 2015. Tese tools will take the user deep inside the


composite material, at the scale of the yarns, to study the impact of the manufacturing processes and their constraints on the mechanical properties of the final part and its performance. Any 2D or 3D weaving pattern can be defined, with any fibre and matrix material. KTex Pattern represents the geometry of a


given weave. Ktex LayUp and Ktex Winding simulate lay-up and winding processes of a weave, while Ktex Woven Properties is used to predict the mechanical properties of a composite weave. All of these tools are fully integrated into the Altair soſtware suite. www.cedrem.fr


Componeering invite you to take a look at their Esacomp soſtware suite for analysis and design of


layered composites structures. From conceptual and preliminary design to advanced analyses for final verification,


TeCradle thermo-fluid analysis soſtware tools are used for analysing complex thermal/fluid phenomena. Electronics, thermal design, radiation, ventilation, buildings, multiphase, mixing, free surface, particles, cavitation, pressure loss, rotating equipment, moving objects, fluid-structure interactions are among the potential list of applications. Cradle all-in-one soſtware is built to


enable a non-expert in thermal sciences to conduct thermo-fluid analyses with ease by providing modelling capabilities and assistant wizard-based interfaces for setting conditions. Tese robust interfaces directly import native data from multitude of CAD soſtware and propose an anticipated high speed automatic mesh generation system already adapted for large scales and precise calculations that can accommodate a billion mesh elements. In addition, Cradle soſtware provides a


cutting edge postprocessor to visualise and animate in 3D the fluid flow and the heat transfer. Tis results in increased engineering understanding and comprehension, and provides a fantastic vehicle for communication and marketing www.cradle-cfd.com


Esacomp provides the tools for fast and efficient design using the numerous features starting with material selection, design of lay-ups, laminate analyses to the design of structural elements: beams, joints, curved panels, tubes and other cylindrical structures. A stand-alone tool that interfaces with


simultaneous inputs up to, for example, 100 simultaneously, with correlation. And secondly, where aerospace customers want to be able to apply mixed random and deterministic loads like, for example, a sine sweep superimposed on top of a base random load. www.caefatigue.com


@scwmagazine


widely-used FE soſtware packages, Esacomp fits seamlessly into the design process. Te Esacomp-HyperWorks post-processing interface makes integration into the design and verification workflow easy, giving insight into laminate response and possible failure modes from advanced failure criteria. Available via Altair Partnership Alliance,


with the enhanced integration with HyperWorks 14, Esacomp becomes a standard solution by meeting engineering needs across all industry sectors working with composites. www.esacomp.com
