External Aerodynamic Studies with Altair HyperWorks (2015)
In this session, Marc Ratzel will give a quick overview of automotive aerodynamic studies before presenting HyperWorks tools in action. Amongst other topics this will include model preparation, design changes using morphing, solver technology (Navier-Stokes as well as Lattice Boltzmann) and shape optimization.
HyperWorks for Pre & Post Processing of FEM (2015)
This session Altair’s senior training specialist, Erik Larson, will be highlighting the Pre and Post processing capabilities of Altair’s flagship products, HyperMesh and HyperView. Attendees will see live demonstrations of the advanced geometry handling, meshing, and universal analysis setup capabilities of HyperMesh and the power and ease of use of the unique post processing capabilities of HyperView.

Inspire for Concept Level Design Generation (2015)
In this session, Altair’s Rahul Ponginan will be highlighting the optimization driven design process using solidThinking Inspire. We will be learning how to create/import geometry, then proceed to set up the model for topology optimization, analyse the design concept generated and then recreate geometry for final design. In addition Rahul will highlight how you can develop early stage layouts for space frame structures using topology optimization within the Inspire software.
OptiStruct for Composite Analysis & Optimization (2015)
The session will be about composite modelling in HyperMesh and optimization using OptiStruct. We will focus on ply-based modelling and explore Altair’s three step optimization process. The key aspects that will be covered are ply and laminate creation, freeshape optimization setup to minimize compliance include some manufacturing constraints, size optimization as it applies to ply composite optimization and finally the ply shuffling optimization
