In connection with the difficult situation regarding the COVID-19 epidemic, we bring information about the support of home-office work and some eLearning news and tips – all together with Altair Engineering and Altair University.

We will present new or recommended webinars, eBooks, tutorials, and also information about free trial licenses and software evaluation support from Advanced Engineering.

Home Office support, trial licenses and software evaluation

During the current crisis with COVID-19, most companies in our region are forced to change their normal work mode to home office. To solve problems related to hardware and software infrastructure Advanced Engineering together with Altair (see its license support support information) offers

• for customers: to move my HyperWorks Units to Hosted HyperWorks Units (please contact us on hwsupport@advanced-eng.cz)
• for cutomers: to provide temporary software licenses to be able to work remotely (please contact us on hwsupport@advanced-eng.cz)
• for all interested users: provision of Trial licenses for education and testing (contact us via contact form or directly). We are at your disposal and do not hesitate to contact us also with questions during testing, with benchmarks or your typical engineering tasks.

Try Altair SimSolid

It has been half a year since Altair has been acquiring SimSolid and its unique calculation method, different from traditional FEM. Perhaps now is the right time to test analyses without simplifying geometry and without meshing. Evaluate its speed and especially suitability for your engineering problems. Ask for trial license, learn from tutorial, watch webinars and study more about the method in eBook or in other technical documents.

Webinars

• Altair SimSolid: Unlocking the Sectrets to Fast and Accurate Simulation – probably the best webinar for introduction to SimSolidem
• Webinars which describe experience of SimSolid customers and applications in different branches.

eBook

• eBook Simulation Revolution with Altair SimSolid explains the theory in the background of SimSolid and the practical implications for using the tool. If you are interested in the accuracy of the calculations, see the NAFEMS article: Designer Oriented Software – Is it Accurate?

Information mentioned above and others you will find also in Altair Learning center, SimSolid Resources and on Altair University server.

Inspire Studio not only for industrial designers

Altair Inspire Studio – new product which replaces Evolve autumn will be appreciated not only by stylists, industrial designers and architects. It will also provide a very good service to engineers who want to optimize the design from the aesthetic point of view. They will use a unique combination of modeling tools in one software solution: sketching, parametric 2D and 3D-solid modeling to intuitive and accurate complex shape modeling using PolyNURBS technology. Engineers who can skip creation of standard drawings and who prepares their optimized designs directly to manufacturing, such as 3D printing, can cover complete design workflow within Inspire platform without using CAD system. If you prefer to stay with your current tools try at least rendering functionality.

Webinar

• Altair Inspire Studio – introductory webinar prepared by Altair in cooperation with Design8 (reseller for Benelux). You will see and understand functionality range and how to use this application.

Video recordings and eLearning

• Na YouTube kanálu Advanced Engineering – videos describing functionality and workflows for some typical designs.
• For more video recordings visit solidThinkng Resources.
• Getting Started – recommended introductory eLearning course
