Welcome to the New Altair Aerospace Coffee Break Series!

Learn and Explore on Your Coffee Break with Altair's Experts

This complimentary series is comprised of 30-minute online demonstrations covering Altair's solutions, starting with our structural model building technology, Altair HyperMesh, giving users unparalleled meshing control, unmatched performance and limitless scale. From there, we will expand into structural optimization, electromagnetic simulation, data analytics, AI powered engineering, computation fluid dynamics (CFD), multi-physics, and more. 

Each demonstration will be conducted by Altair's aerospace and defense technical experts, who combine a vast array of industry experience with input from Altair's development teams, providing unparalleled insight into the present and future of aerospace simulation and analysis. 

The series is offered at NO COST to all members of the aerospace community interested in learning more about Altair's solutions, with all sessions made available to re-watch on Altair's YouTube channel.

Upcoming Sessions:

HyperMesh Connectors

HyperMesh Connectors

Jul 9, 2025

11:00 AM - 11:30 AM (UTC -04:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

In this demonstration, we will look at the workflow and process for generating connecting elements in bulk in HyperMesh. Change element configurations easily, bulk realizing and unrealizing for part replacement, review connections, and more aspects of the HyperMesh connector workflow will be explored.

Mesh-Editing

HyperMesh Mesh Editing

Jul 23, 2025

11:00 AM - 11:30 AM (UTC -04:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

In this demonstration we will look at HyperMesh’s tools for unbeatable levels of manual mesh editing and custom refinement.

Beam-Meshing

HyperMesh 1D Beam Meshing

Aug 6, 2025

11:00 AM - 11:30 AM (UTC -04:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

In this demonstration, we will explore the process of generating 1D “beam” elements in HyperMesh. We will explore 1D creation, orienting, offsetting, and section generation from preset cross section shapes and cross sections generated from the source CAD representing the beam.

Mesh-Morphing

HyperMesh Mesh Morphing

Aug 20, 2025

11:00 AM - 11:30 AM (UTC -04:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

In this demonstration, we will delve into the HyperMesh Morphing workflow of tools for reshaping an existing mesh without having to recreate the mesh from scratch while using interpolation methods to maintain mesh quality and flow. Users will see how adjusting an existing mesh to fit to a new part design, without having to reapply boundary conditions, can save analysts tons of time.

Past Webinars

Midmeshing-in-HyperMesh

Midmeshing in HyperMesh

Watch On-Demand

In this demonstration we will look at the midmeshing process for automatically generating a mesh at the midplane location of a part, directly from the input geometry (components, elements, solids or surfaces), without first creating a midsurface, saving significant time over the traditional midsurface-based approach.

Midsurfacing-1

HyperMesh Midsurfacing and Mapping Thickness

Watch On-Demand

In this demonstration we will look at the process for generating a midsurface from some solid source geometry and how to automatically assign thicknesses to the surface mesh, based on the source geometry.

Midsurfacing-and-Mapping-Thickness-1

HyperMesh Geometry Editing

Watch- On-Demand

In this demonstration we will look at the various tools for editing geometry to better aid with meshing in Altair HyperMesh.

Hex-Meshing-1

HyperMesh Hex Meshing

Watch On-Demand

In this demonstration we will look at tips and tricks for generating 3D hexagonal meshes in Altair HyperMesh.

Geometry-Import

HyperMesh Geometry Import and Cleanup

Watch On-Demand
 
In this demonstration we will look at the process and options for importing geometry into Altair HyperMesh and the tools for cleaning up the geometry.
New User Interface

Exploring HyperMesh's New User Interface

Watch On-Demand


In this demonstration we will look at the new ribbon-based
HyperMesh interface layout. This will be helpful for users who are still using, or transitioning from using, the Classic panel-based HyperMesh layout. Join us to learn more about our improved interface and how you can fine tune the interface to work better for you.
