Altair SimLab 2019.3 Altair announced a new release of HyperWorks SimLab 2019, a software tool created specifically as a pre-processor for detailed computer models of complex powertrains, has been released as part of HyperWorks 2017. SimLab is a process oriented, feature based finite element modeling software that allows you to quickly and accurately simulate engineering behavior of complex assemblies. SimLab automates simulation-modeling tasks to reduce human errors and time spent manually creating finite element models and interpreting results. SimLab is not a traditional off-the-shelf pre- and post-processing software but a vertical application development platform for capturing and automating simulation processes.

LS-DYNA SMP R11 LS-DYNA is a general-purpose finite element program capable of simulating complex real world problems. It is used by the automobile, aerospace, construction, military, manufacturing, and bioengineering industries. The code\’s origins lie in highly nonlinear, transient dynamic finite element analysis using explicit time integration. "Nonlinear" means at least one (and sometimes all) of the following complications: Changing boundary conditions (such as contact between parts that changes over time) Large deformations (for example the crumpling of sheet metal parts) Nonlinear materials that do not exhibit ideally elastic behavior (for example thermoplastic polymers) "Transient dynamic" means analyzing high speed, short duration events where inertial forces are important. Typical uses include: Automotive crash (deformation of chassis, airbag inflation, seatbelt tensioning) Explosions...

Altair EDEM 2020 EDEM 2020 highlights include: New Sphere Fitting Tool EDEM can simulate any size and shape of material using the computationally efficient and well validated multi-sphere method. In this method, shape is introduced by overlapping multiple spheres and, by increasing the number of overlapping spheres, it allows for increased shape fidelity. With the new Sphere Fitting tool, users no longer must manually arrange spheres to create the shape they want to represent. The tool automatically builds a multi-sphere particle that closely matches an imported particle shape from a CAD file. Users can control the number of spheres used, as well as restrict the minimum sphere size. This tool means users can get the benefit of efficient multi-sphere simulation...
