March 2024 Edition

In October 2023, Altair Technology partner Cornelis Networks, and OpenRadioss were hosted in a fireside chat by The Register - a leading and trusted global online technology news publication, which reaches approximately 40 million technology professionals, IT decision makers, C-suite executives worldwide. This gave OpenRadioss an opportunity for strong visibility to a new audience. Watch the on-demand session here, to learn about why high-performance interconnects are essential for HPC/AI Manufacturing workloads. 

Additionally in October 2023, Altair Technology partner CIQ hosted OpenRadioss in their LiveStream podcast session where they discussed how the fusion of containerization and cloud technologies is propelling OpenRadioss to new heights. Join us for a cutting-edge webinar on containerization, cloud, and collaboration. Watch the on-demand session here, to learn more. 

Planning Begins for OpenRadioss Users' Day 2024

Following the success of OpenRadioss Users' Day 2023 in Aachen last year, we are delighted to announce the 2024 OpenRadioss Users’ Day will be on September 26th, 2024 in Philadelphia, PA, USA. Yes, after France and Germany, we are crossing the Atlantic thanks to the generous offer to host the event by Elham Sahraei, Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Temple University.  

If you are working on a project with OpenRadioss and are keen to present your work at the live event, please contact Marian Bulla. 

To examine vehicle crashworthiness, for many years the Crash Test Dummy has been victim of many crash test scenarios. Today, the dummies can take early retirement as sophisticated human body models are incorporated into full vehicle crash codes.

The OpenRadioss team have worked with the VIVA+ development team to ensure compatibility between the VIVA+ LS-Dyna keyword input Open Source HBMs and OpenRadioss, giving the opportunity for all users to run a complete open-source crash solution with HBMs. See here for more about VIVA+ Body Models

David Russel | Director of Vortex CAE 

Introducing David Russell, director of Vortex CAE which has developed its own optimization solver for automotive crash structures based on topometry techniques. Vortex is supporting our community by releasing their Python libraries for reading OpenRadioss animation and time-history files as open-source, and their OpenRadioss animation to d3plot conversion tool for open-source use. For more details, see here.

For those who want to learn creating high resolution photorealistic rendering from OpenRadioss crash simulations, using open-source tools, OpenRadioss was showcased in Kitware webinar. View the webinar here. 

We are continuing to build our library of videos showing tips and tricks for getting started and using OpenRadioss. Feel free to contact us with your suggestions for new content!
