Matereality on Altair APA (Altair Partner Alliance) is designed to enable best practices when using materials information in simulation. It serves all kinds of material data in a workgroup or an enterprise. As companies look to build their materials knowledge infrastructure, they pool together diverse users of material data to offer a design. Often, the bottleneck in the functionality of an enterprise materials information structure is faced by teams involved in product design. It is important that they be well-represented, or they will use software ancillary to the knowledge core, weakening its very purpose.
Design and implementation
take time. Meanwhile, product development must continue. Matereality has an elegant solution for the interim, which
(CAD) geometry was the base for their simulation models in order to easily select the related analysis results from the SDM system. PDTec joined the Altair Partner Alliance in 2016. Since then SimData Manager is available as a partner product via the HyperWorks units.

PART Engineering is showcasing software solutions for strength assessment of both metal and plastic parts. ‘Converse’ and ‘S-Life Plastics’ predict the mechanical performance of injection- molded plastic components with focus on short-fibre- reinforced materials. Converse has been a part of the Altair Partner Program for many years. Another software, ‘S-Life FKM’, however, is a new member of the Partner Alliance. S-Life FKM enables a simple and automatic assessment of
satisfies even the most exacting consumers, and is seamlessly extensible to an enterprise solution for when a consensus is reached. Accelerate the pace of product development and eliminate the typical risks from unmanaged material data.

PDTec will present its solution SimData Manager. SimData Manager provides an enterprise CAE data management system to help analysts easily keep up with the constantly increasing number of simulation runs across all disciplines and the global collaboration of simulation activities along the supply chain. The software traces CAD geometries throughout the process to the final analysis reports and various simulation models and vice versa, making it so engineers are always aware of which computer-aided design
Phoenix Integration’s ModelCenter is a recent addition to the Altair Partner Alliance. ModelCenter’s powerful integration capabilities bring the Altair tool suite into even more engineering domains. One interesting application is within model-based systems engineering (MBSE). Descriptive system models defined in SysML can now be enriched with accurate performance predictions using analysis tools such as Altair’s Activate. The ability to connect simulation tools with descriptive system models pushes simulation further upstream into the development
Marc Saunders, director of global solutions centres at engineering technologies company Renishaw, is giving a talk on boosting the adoption of metal additive manufacturing (AM). The talk will explore the current status of AM in industry and the drivers behind its current and future growth.
‘Metal AM is a growing
process and improves the chances of delivering superior products on time and to cost. Another innovative application is design exploration with parametrised CAD. ModelCenter allows engineers to expose CAD parameters in a HyperStudy driven optimisation process. This means that at the end of an optimisation run, the solution is expressed as CAD geometry, instead of as a modified mesh, making it much easier to incorporate the optimised geometry into the design process.

ThermoAnalytics provides total thermal solutions for complex vehicle engineering simulation. At the Altair Technology Conference in Paris they will showcase TAITherm, which is the industry’s most complete and flexible thermal modelling software, one that can predict the full range of temperature distribution in your product or system. TAITherm can model a
variety of thermally sensitive components, including transient brakes, underhood, exhaust and underbody simulation, HVAC, cabin, battery packs for HEV/EV, and more. TAITherm can be used

market but still only occupies a fraction of the manufacturing landscape,’ explained Saunders. ‘At the conference, I will explain how we can accelerate adoption further by overcoming issues related to costs, quality assurance and AM equipment capabilities.’ At the conference,
Renishaw will also exhibit its latest system, the RenAM 500Q. It features four 500 W lasers to speed up the process by up to four times, broadening the market appeal of metal AM into applications that were previously uneconomic.

to predict temperature of a component or a complete vehicle over any long transient scenario, such as a heat soak or WLTP drivecycle. The predicted temperature fields can then be used to increase the accuracy of any thermo-mechanical simulation, should it be stiffness, safety or durability. Thermal models can be built using a structural mesh, making process integration almost seamless.
