Breaking the Billion-Particle Simulation Barrier with Altair EDEM

Simulating how bulk and granular materials interact with equipment, containers, and one another is a critical capability for industrial, manufacturing, and life science organizations. The larger these simulations, the more accurate they become, decreasing the time and expense companies must spend iterating designs and prototypes. Altair and Google Cloud recently collaborated to see how large a…

Altair SimSolid Transforms Simulation for Electronics Industry

“As the electronics industry pushes the boundaries of complexity and miniaturization, engineers have struggled with simulations that often compromise on detail for expediency. Altair SimSolid will empower engineers to capture the intricate complexities of PCBs and ICs without simplification,” said James R. Scapa, founder and chief executive officer, Altair. “Traditional simulation methods often require approximations when…

Accelerating Custom Semiconductor Design with Best-in-Class Debugging Tools

Until recently, manufacturing semiconductors was the domain of dedicated chip companies. However, over the past fifteen years or so, technology giants – led by the likes of Apple, Amazon, Google, and Meta – have established in-house silicon design teams and taken advantage of contract fabrication facilities to produce chips tailored to their requirements. What’s more, the appeal of the so-called “fabless” semiconductor business model…

Improving Motorcycle Aerodynamics: Find a Fairing with Low Aerodynamic Drag

Fairings are an essential component of many motorcycles and designed to improve aerodynamics and stability of a bike. For a student diploma project on the aerodynamics of a motorcycle fairing, the project team, consisting of KTM employees Martin Herzog, Alexander Hladik, and Christian Fernsebner, worked closely with Altair, specifically Altair’s Student Ambassador at the TU Munich,…
