Introduction to Vortex® Studio by CM Labs Simulations
Product success is increasingly reliant on innovation. A multidisciplinary system engineering approach is more critical now than ever. Performing in-the-loop system-level simulation and testing early in the design stage is key to enabling organization-wide creativity and placing the user at the heart of the engineering process.
As mechatronic product complexity and control system sophistication increase, predicting system-level behaviour has become more challenging. Vortex® Studio by CM Labs Simulations helps you create interactive virtual prototypes to refine product functionality with hardware- and driver-in-the-loop testing of "smart" control systems. With tools to support integration and distributed visualization, it is easier than ever to take simulations built on the desktop and deploy them to immersive simulators
On October 24th, Altair and CM labs will be holding an introductory webinar to Vortex® Studio Create, a simulation and visualization platform for the modelling and testing of mechatronic systems.
Bringing design ideas to life in an interactive multi-body dynamics simulation platform—engineers, product managers, and product stakeholders can evaluate design ideas and engage in immersive 3D product experiences, shortening the development cycle and encouraging innovation.

The Secrets to Fast AND Accurate Simulation Webinar
No Tradeoffs Required!
There has always been a required compromise when it comes to structural simulation. This tradeoff required users to select a tool that excels in either depth/accuracy OR speed (you have likely experienced this yourself).
With Altair SimSolid, this compromise is no longer necessary. SimSolid works directly on CAD geometry and gives its users incredibly accurate design insight in seconds to minutes.
Blazingly Fast AND Incredibly Accurate Simulation is possible! View our webinar to learn more!

Battery & Motor Thermal Management for Electric Vehicles
The key element of an electric vehicle (EV) is the battery and batteries are known to produce heat during their charge-discharge cycle. An efficient thermal management system (TMS) is of paramount importance. The battery TMS affects the cost, life, and range of the EV. A battery TMS study or an EV TMS study involves the use of thermal and fluid physics and Altair’s AcuSolve (Computational Fluid Dynamics based Simulation Technology), was used to carry out this study. The importance of finding new methods for effectively and accurately designing TMS that control temperature and optimize the performance of Li-ion batteries. This can be used to study and optimize the Battery Thermal Management System and other Thermal Management requirements arising in an electric vehicle which involves both active and passive cooling. A similar issue of heat (unwanted) exists in Motors as well, in this, we shall cover the Multiphysics simulation of Motors which shall include both electromagnetics and CFD Thermal studies of both air and liquid coolant motors.

NVH Refinement for Electric Vehicles
Replacement of traditional combustion engines with an electric powertrain, bring electro-mechanical induced tonal and high-frequency whine noise. In addition, tire and aerodynamic turbulent noise become more prominent in the absence of a standard Internal Combustion Engine. Also, the perceived sound quality imposes a new set of challenges. This leads to completely new methods of NVH refinement, keeping the decades of research aside. As it is important to address these issues at the design and development stage, adopting the new simulation techniques to manage future NVH challenges in e-Mobility is of the prime challenge to the traditional NVH engineers. In this webinar, we shall discuss some of those key NVH challenges specific to electric vehicles and appropriate simulation processes to develop countermeasures.

System Modelling for Electric Vehicles
Electric Vehicles (EV) are complex systems and need to be connected, automated, lighter & smarter all at once. This calls for systems engineering where different systems are seen whole instead of in silos. Experience e-Mobility Simulation using Altair Model-Based System simulation solutions with real-time motor controller implementation on HIL (Hardware in the loop) with the micro-controller. Its intuitive block diagram environment allows users to model and simulate continuous and discrete dynamical systems, mix signal-based, physical modeling and Co-simulation with electro-magnetic & multi-body dynamics. End to end system-level virtual simulation for complete e-Mobility is made possible.

Increasing Design Optimization and Confidence Through Advanced Weld Fatigue Analysis and Simulation
Welding is a commonly used technique in different industries to join two metal parts. Parts that are welded, tend to fatigue in the welded regions, even in a well-designed structure. Therefore, it is necessary to make a fatigue assessment of the welded joints. The fatigue assessment of welded parts should be highly prioritized to ensure a good evaluation of the durability of the weld structure.
There are different types of approaches that can be used to evaluate the fatigue life of welds. This presentation illustrates how different welding methods such as spot welds or seam welds are considered in nCode DesignLife software which can be used within the Altair partnership program.
This webinar deals with Shell/Solids and Spot welds modeled with nCode DesignLife. It starts with the theoretical approaches, goes on with the modeling techniques and shows the results in DesignLife.
