Coupling simulations: A simple way to increase results accuracy
Erwan Beauchesne
Software Development Manager, Manufacturing Technology at Altair
Coupling simulations from different domains is becoming increasingly important, considering the evolution of CAE toward multi-physics problems. As an example, utilizing residual stress/strain as well as thinning information from metal-forming simulation is gaining rapid acceptance in the structural CAE community. Most of the time, components of full-car crash models are defined independently from any residual stresses and strains, and thicknesses are considered as nominal, whereas a lot of these ones have been manufactured thru stamping or bending processes.

Academic Blog Updates (January 2012)
May be you have noticed that the Blog’s structure was updated recently:
In the side bar we added links to essentially 3 video categories:
Additionally, the category LEARNING (in the main menu) experienced some changes, too:
Enjoy exploring & learning more about CAE and HyperWorks!

Did you know ? … ASCII or Binary… (CFD Tips & Tricks)
Mesh files in ASCII or binary format?
”Did you know” that AcuConsole allows users to choose between writing their mesh files in ASCII or binary format? By selecting binary format, the file size of MESH.DIR on disk is drastically reduced. Additionally, the time to write the mesh to disk from AcuConsole is greatly reduced and AcuPrep will run faster as less time is spent reading the input.
This feature is very beneficial when working with large models. To choose between ASCII and binary file format, select the appropriate option from File–>Preferences–>Export–>Mesh file type.

The World’s Fastest Bike
Tony Norton, Senior Director, Global Automotive at Altair Engineering
When I hear McLaren, I think of F1 greats like Hunt, Lauda, Prost, Senna, Hakkinen and a parade of other drivers right up to today’s pilots, Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton. So it was a bit of a surprise to learn that the McLaren team’s latest challenge has been to design a bicycle, but not just an ordinary bike – one with a frame under 1kg!

Lighter, Better, Faster – HyperWorks in the Construction of Formula Student Cars
The Formula Student Racing Team Elbforace is the racing team of the Technical University of Dresden/Germany. The team develops, designs, and manufactures every year a racing car that competes with 270 teams from all over the world at the Formula Student competition. In the season 2010/2011, the team decided to switch from a 
combustion engine to an electrical powertrain concept. Due to the additional weight that the electrical concept causes, i. e. due to the use of accumulators and an AC converter, the design of the remaining components of the car had to be optimized to still reach a minimum weight for the complete vehicle.
