UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM -TEXGEN WORKSHOP
In March, Altair was invited to participate in the TexGen Workshop that took place in Nottingham. There was a variety of industries represented at this event. TexGen is open source software developed at the University of Nottingham for modelling the geometry of textile structures. TexGen has been used by the Nottingham Composites group as the basis of models for a variety of properties, including textile mechanics, permeability and composite mechanical behaviour.
During the workshop, textile structures were constructed in order to demonstrate the capabilities of TexGen. TexGen textile models can be used in conjunction with many software packages with the purpose of analysing weaving structures.
As a result of this workshop, there is a tutorial in the Hyperworks university Programme web page covering the use of TexGen for generating a weave structure and its subsequent analysis using Hyperworks. The link below will direct you to this tutorial:

Integrating Simulation-Based Design Methodologies into University Research Programs and Classroom Instruction
An open forum of university experts and Altair’s senior software development personnel convened on April 29, 2010 to discuss how HyperWorks simulation-based technologies can impact academic research work and how the HyperWorks Platform of finite-element-based computational tools and tutorials can help incorporate engineering design concepts into undergraduate and graduate courses.
This discussion driven forum was part of Day 3 of the 2010 Americas HyperWorks Technology Conference. This event brought together over 450 industry and university professionals and features keynotes and industry presentations given by industry thought leaders. The University Forum Agenda is shown below.

Altair Fellowship Program Simulation-Based Vehicle Design Symposium held at Clemson University
A bi-annual design symposium is a key part of our Fellowship Program. Students, faculty, and regional Altair customers are invited to participate in a symposium directed at applications of HyperWorks to classroom instruction, university research, and industrial design applications. The fourth such symposium was held at Clemson University-International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) on Monday, April 19, 2010. 51 faculty, staff, students, and industrial clients attended the symposium.
