Academia Learning Event 2023, Greece

How Students and Instructors Can Benefit from Altair’s Global Academic Program - Jim Ryan

This session will start with Altair’s high-level philosophy for supporting learners and teachers at universities. Then it will demonstrate how students can use Altair software for projects and competitions, learning useful skills in the process that will prepare them to hit the ground running when they take jobs in industry. Faculty instructors can also help students learn engineering and data science concepts more effectively by using Altair’s software to complement the theory they want students to learn in their courses.

Set Up Simulations and Optimize Structural Parts Using Altair® HyperMesh® and Altair® OptiStruct® Solvers* - Ioannis Miliopoulos

In this session, attendees will learn how to set up a basic model in the new HyperMesh GUI to help participants familiarize themselves with HyperMesh’s basic functionalities, such as model manipulation, meshing, and solver deck creation. The solver will be OptiStruct, Altair's industry-proven finite element (FE) solver. The demonstration will be a topology optimization run and the post-processing in Altair® HyperView® to understand load paths and optimal material distribution across the design space.

Leverage Altair's Revolutionary Structural Analysis Solver Altair SimSolid® and Altair® Inspire™ Platform to Design and Optimize Parts Faster* - Evangelos Apostolakis and Panagiotis Natsiavas

In this session, the presenters will perform a structural analysis and topology optimization of a moving part as a follow up to help participants get familiar with Inspire's basic functionalities. Then, they’ll perform a demonstration of SimSolid's capabilities – Altair’s revolutionary meshless solver for rapid structural analysis.
