PM-FlexTire™ by Pratt Miller Deformable Tire Model
PM-FlexTire deformable tire model for use with EDEM soil models and ADAMS or Motion Solve.
PM-FlexTire is an finite element-based tire model that is integrated with the Altair® EDEM™ soft-soil simulation platform and significantly expands what is possible in virtual development of soft-soil mobility.
The model provides realistic deformation and high fidelity forces and moments through co-simulation between EDEM and multi-body dynamics (MBD) codes. Included time-varying air pressure model and detailed tread pattern interaction with particles are features unique to PM-FlexTire.
Users can create models from tire CAD using various meshing solutions including Altair® HyperMesh® and Gmsh integrations, or use meshes generated from other third party meshing tools.
Comprehensive integration with discrete element method (DEM) simulation provides a high level of utility relative to alternatives to support increased scope of virtual development. Simulation complexity and licensing cost of PM-FlexTire and the corresponding integrations are "best fit" for virtual mobility development in soft-soil DEM simulation environments.

New Innovative Opportunities in the Compliance Assessment and Selection of Materials for the Medical Industry
In world where the population is getting older and living longer, the need for durable medical devices and implants is exploding. This requirement drives innovation in the space, widening the scope from the traditional metals such as titanium and cobalt chromium, to newer material groups including thermoplastics and ceramics which at the same time increases the challenges in safety and the efficacy of the end product. We will cover how Total Materia can drive precise, safe decisions around material selection for a range of critical constraints, whether it be basic material durability, fatigue strength requirements or adherence to a range of regulatory guidelines including biocompatibility or compliance to other national administrative controls such as the FDA.

Efficient Workflow for the Simulation of Plastics in the Medical Industry
The strength assessment of plastic components is often a problem in practice. It is important for the beneficial application of simulation to achieve a good trade-off between the simplest possible modeling approaches (material model, strength assessment) and sufficient fidelity of the simulation results. If non-standardized simulation and assessment approaches are used, or experience-based, subjective procedures are employed, uncertainties follow and the comparability of different analyses is often not possible. Therefore, a workflow of Altair and partner software is shown to avoid such uncertainties and two examples from medical industry are used to display the benefits. Simplified procedures help to reduce the work load and increases the confidence in simulation results. The standardized procedure avoids mistakes and assures that reproducibility and comparability of the results is always given.

This webinar explores how Litens overcame these limitations, and their journey to simulation-driven design with Altair.
The following topics will be covered:
-Choice of methods to solve quasi-static structural problems: implicit vs. explicit
-Technical merits and challenges associated with each method and business outcomes

Achieving better Vehicle NVH performance using MSA and RBDO methods
In the context of NVH vehicle development, a common source of costly design change is where issues are discovered late in a program during vehicle testing or even post launch. Often this occurs where the simulation has met the targets including vehicle level analysis. By considering a population of results rather than the nominal CAE result, a process is demonstrated to develop a more reliable design that will deliver high levels of customer satisfaction and lower levels of late change and warranty costs. In this presentation we will introduce how this can be achieved through the use of MSA and RBDO methods within the framework of Altair’s NVH Director environment.

Delivering Off-Road Mobility for the U.S. Soldier
In this presentation, Dr. David J. Gorsich - Chief Scientist, U.S. Army Ground Vehicle Systems, describes the GVSC’s current programs to deliver an operational model and insights into future terrain mobility models.
The ability of a ground force to maneuver has always been critical to determining success or defeat on the battlefield. On the future battlefield, mobility will remain essential with predictive intelligence central to mission completion. At present, mobility models are not terribly precise, as mobility depends on a large number of interdependent variables, like soil characteristics, moisture, temperature, vehicle characteristics, and with large amounts of uncertainty. The convergence of better ways to measure the key parameters either directly or remotely coupled with the increase in computational power and advanced vehicle design is bringing the promise of more accurate terrain and mobility models. Imagine a battlespace where we could accurately advise our forces where it is possible and not possible to maneuver, while the adversary does not have such an advantage.

Virtual Product Development via Physics-Based Simulation
As manufacturers face demands for faster time-to-market, higher quality, and cost-effective design, they started adopting Virtual Product Development (VPD) using physics-based simulation tools and avoid the build–test–redesign–retest cycle. The benefits of VPD are palpable, with reduced development costs, significantly fewer physical prototypes, and drastically shortened development schedules. Highly powerful CAE (FEA, CFD, MBD, Durability, Acoustics, etc.), CAD, CAM and Optimization Software make realization of VPD possible. However, to develop an effective VPD, the physics-based simulation model needs to be statistically validated (V&V) so they can represent the physical system well.

Quick Failure Analysis and Improved Solution of Bolted Joint by Cetim-Cobra
This webinar features Cobra by Cetim, available through the Altair Partner Alliance.
On a heavy compressor, changing a damaged part is not always possible due to time and cost constraints. When the first threads of a tapped part (M48) have been stripped during a maintenance mistake, a quick repair had to be defined, with minimum part modifications. The new design had to prove equivalent in strength, fatigue, and pressure on sealing rings at service temperature compared to the original design. The robustness of the solution is also analyzed, comparing results for different tolerances. FEM analysis would prove too long. Cobra allowed to design and verify a solution in a very short time, based on a threaded insert and thanks to its fast calculations.

Build a Complete Analytics Pipeline to Optimize Smart Factory Operations
IoT-enabled infrastructure in factories produce mountains of data that managers can use to optimize plant operations. IoT technology and the sensors that generate most of this data are key building blocks for executing on the industry 4.0 vision of a smart factory. The proper analysis and visualization of this data, coupled with machine learning deployed in the cloud or at the edge, can help companies achieve higher degrees of productivity, flexibility, and innovation and compete more effectively.
The need to stitch together the tools required to support the entire workflow — from data prep to machine learning and MLOps (machine learning model operationalization management) — requires broad specialized knowledge and expertise, as well as significant upfront investment. Coupled with the need for data to pass between systems and tools, these factors introduce substantial amounts of risk into the implementation process.
We built Altair® SmartWorks™ Analytics specifically to address these challenges and enable data-driven decision making and AI-augmented automation. In this video, we demonstrate how to build an analytics pipeline, including deployment of MLOps models, in a smart factory environment.
