Using Multiphysics Optimization to Design High Performance Rotating Machines
Light-weight, low cost, compact, high efficiency are some of the many objectives and constraints that have to be considered when designing a rotating machine.
To meet these various challenges it is necessary to take into account several physical aspects:
- electromagnetic
- structural
- thermal
This presentation shows how Altair HyperStudy can involve several Altair solvers to consider different requirements into a single optimization and will be illustrated through various examples.

Considering Temperature Constraints in the Design of Electric Machines
Because of always more compact and high efficiency systems, temperature is a critical constraint in electric machine design.
Depending on the design stage, different levels of modeling can be proposed:
- 1D for fast pre-design, to
- full 3D CFD models for the validation stage.
This presentation shows, through a complete example how the Altair platform for innovation helps machine designers to manage temperature distribution and evolution.

Risks of Using CBAR Elements
In FE analysis, the aerospace industry continues to make common use of 1D bending elements such as CBAR and
CBEAM elements. In particular, aerospace FE analysts use CBAR elements extensively in global loads models. However, the CBAR element has deficiencies compared to its more modern replacement, the CBEAM element. Some FEA
software providers recommend CBEAM over CBAR for many important use cases.
