June 2024 Edition

The OpenRadioss Community is delighted to be invited to Philadelphia USA by Elham Sahraei, Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Temple University, and the center of excellence for the safety of electric vehicle battery packs, Electric Vehicle Safety Lab (EVSL), at Temple University.

Join us for an entire day of thought-provoking technical presentations and discussions on recent advancements made by the OpenRadioss Community. As the number of attendees is limited, register here for this in-person event on September 26, 2024.

Olivier Wienholtz | Director, Software Development, Altair

Introducing Olivier Wienholtz, director of software development at Altair, and a key member of the OpenRadioss Community. With over 24 years expertise in software development, Olivier’s recent social posts feature OpenRadioss running on a $100 Raspberry Pi 5 (an Arm Cortex A76 processor). Although a fun experiment, it does open the exciting world of dynamic event simulation to a whole host of students and teachers with only modest computing budgets.

Check out Olivier’s OpenRadioss Community YouTube video here for more details on how to install the development environment to create OpenRadioss binaries. Then run a simple crash simulation model and use ParaView to postprocess OpenRadioss results.

With the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship kicking-off on June 14^th, here’s a dip into the OpenRadioss archive to revisit one of the controversial moments in football history – that’s soccer to our American cousins.

Congratulations on the release of a new paper by Elham Sahraei on the “Validation of Sahraei Failure Criterion on cylindrical and pouch Lithium-ion battery cells.”

Elham's paper describes her recent work on the crashworthiness of Li-ion batteries using #OpenRadioss. It presents a universal model for predicting short circuit in lithium-ion batteries under mechanical loading.
