Airbag Development Process Using HyperWorks Automation - AutolivAltair
Design and development of airbags involves initial designing, optimizing, prototyping and testing. This process could be time consuming and costly since multiple iterations are performed before a final design is achieved. CAE tools can effectively be used in the airbag development process to reduce the design cycle time and to reduce development costs. Furthermore, in a CAE driven development process, higher productivity gains could be achieved by automating the routine CAE processes. In this presentation, some of the efficiency gains achieved on the airbag design process by using Altair HyperWorks Automation are presented.
RADIOSS, 27 years of past evolution and futureAltair
In the seventies crash simulations in automotive, helicopter & plane industries were done at the concept phase with implicit nonlinear code using beam and spring models. At the same time high speed impacts were solved with finite difference codes with explicit time integration. In the eighties it took several years for the automotive engineers to validate and accept explicit codes to solve car crashes. This was made possible thanks to the power of CRAY vector computers. In the nineties crash became a Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) driven design process in the automotive industry. Simulation driven design process allows design engineers to test many alternatives at a fraction of prototype test cost. Today explicit code is standard for crash simulation and this paper describes the past evolution of the method in the RADIOSS code. In the nineties RADIOSS was successfully applied to stamping and manufacturing processes, implicit time integration was introduced to speed-up quasi static analysis and to performed elastic return or gravity setting using the same code. From the beginning an Arbitrary Lagrange Euler (ALE) integration scheme was built in RADIOSS allowing to solve several Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) problems. RADIOSS is today a general purpose non-linear finite element code with several applications in automotive, aerospace, defense, nuclear, civil engineering and consumer goods industries.

Environmental control systems (ECS) are one of the major areas of focus for aircraft manufacturers. They ensure adequate conditioning of the ambient air for the passengers, but are also responsible for cabin pressurization, ice protection, among others. We carried out this study which aimed to couple a complex 1D system simulation model of the environmental control system with a 3D CFD model of the aircraft cabin. This allowed us to ensure that passenger comfort was adequately handled under different flight conditions. In the study, we were also able to check whether flight-critical systems functioned as designed in partial-failure scenarios.
This co-simulation study allowed us to capitalize on an optimal combination of both the 1D and 3D worlds, where intricate air treatment systems were simulated in 1D, and complex flow patterns and heat exchange characteristics were identified and accounted for in 3D CFD.

DISCUS CMM enables you to import results from CMM Reports and incorporate the values into the ballooned drawing and inspection report.
DISCUS CMM enables you to complete the entire inspection effort within DISCUS Desktop. It leverages the intuitive DISCUS user interface, and makes the importing of CMM results an integral part of the workflow. DISCUS CMM works as a complement to DISCUS Results by taking the values from the CMM Report and incorporating them into the Bill of Characteristics. Even more exciting, DISCUS CMM gives you multiple ways to map the values from the CMM Report into the FAI report: a) by reading the headers in the CMM Report and automatically filling in the result values; b) by enabling you to have DISCUS suggest the likely matches based on the type of features and characteristics; and c) by allowing you to actually create or “backfill” a Bill of Characteristics and ballooned drawing from the CMM Report.
DISCUS CMM is an add-on to DISCUS Desktop. It enables you to work in the familiar DISCUS user interface and add results in a tabular style or on a characteristic-by-characteristic basis. DISCUS CMM appears as another panel to the right of the Drawing/Model panel.
You click on the Add CMM Report button on the tool bar in the CMM Report panel to add a CMM Report to the Results Package.
After clicking the open button, DISCUS will evaluate the CMM Report versus the existing Bill of Characteristics and automatically map the CMM axes to the specific characteristics.
DISCUS CMM will highlight any inconsistencies and issues between the CMM Report and the existing Bill of Characteristics. For example, DISCUS will highlight any differences in features and nominal or tolerance values.
You can right click on any axis and choose to manually map the CMM axis to a characteristic; you can use the Suggest functionality to have DISCUS identify likely CNs in the BoC; you can use the Backfill functionality to use the CMM axis to create the CN and balloon.
The completed results that have been “applied’ are all automatically captured and entered in the Bill of Characteristics.
SAP Documents Management and DistributionSEAL Systems
Automated Document Distribution for mySAP PLM :
Documents are an essential part of the PLM process and the risks associated with putting the wrong documents in the wrong people’s hands can be great. Consider that while tracking a production order within your mySAP solutions, you notice that a number of CAD drawings need to accompany the PO. That means someone will have to manually print the CAD drawings and individually attach them to the order. This creates a high margin for error: What if you send the wrong drawing? What if it’s an outdated design or even one that is still a work in progress? These kinds of errors cost organizations time and money. "It’s the Output that counts"
Let's discover how to optimize document distribution within SAP !

An engineer working for Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation Marine Systems (NGSC-MS) was given a project to improve their teams’ current NASTRAN results post-processing workflow by writing a script to automate the task. They reached out to Altair for collaboration and Altair engineers were able to quickly determine that Altair’s mathematical modeling environment – “Altair Compose” – would be the ideal solution due to its ability to read, manipulate, and write NASTRAN results. Also, the Open Matrix Language is a scripting language that is familiar to the engineering community. Given sample NASTRAN results and requirements Altair engineers provided a “template” script. The NGSC-MS team was able to quickly understand and modify the script to their goals. The custom results were then viewable in HyperView as a contour plot, which saved a considerable amount of time during post-processing and documentation workflows.
Designing for Sustainability: Altair's Customer StoryAltair
Bush Bohlman was required to perform the structural analysis and timber design for the British Columbia Institute of Technology, (BCIT), student plaza, a pedestrian and public transport user gateway for the institute. The structure needed to establish a strong campus identity with a biophilic design and demonstrable support for sustainable building practices while ensuring structural safety according to local design codes. The hybrid mass timber structure consists of a Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) canopy, CLT columns, and steel columns. By using S-TIMBER, the engineers were able to simulate the complex two-way bending behavior of the cantilevering roof panels and asymmetrical column layout. Having the model in S-TIMBER allowed for changes to be analyzed and re-designed, without the need to manually design individual timber and steel elements. S-TIMBER's design reports presented the design calculations concisely, yet transparently, for faster and easier reviews.

Lead time reduction in CAE: Automated FEM Description ReportAltair
For each deliverable FE-Model a FEM description report needs to be generated. Since this document contains always the same type of information, it is an ideal candidate to automate the creation of this report. Based on the Hyper Report Tool from Altair, RUAG Space and Altair developed a tool to automatically generate the FEM Description Report. The tool requires the HyperMesh data base and the output files from FEM checks as inputs. Together with the tool template, guidelines are provided on how the data base needs to be set up, such that the report can be created automatically. The main structure of the FEM Description Report is dependent on the assembly structure of the HM data base.
Car makers have to reduce consumption of vehicles and so, are continually looking for solutions to lighten components. For powertrain, components generally mean screwed assembly, contact and fitting interfaces, with different kind of loading to take into account (static and dynamic). Hence, we decided to apply with Altair assistance, a process of topology optimization on an assembly of gearbox housing in order to check its feasibility and efficiency. Several steps had to be solved from exhaustive identification of all mechanical constraints to execution of large models with Optistruct. By the end, the process has been defined and implemented on an existing gearbox and will be soon apply on the next one to design.

The Team H2politO: vehicles for low consumption competitions using HyperWorks Altair
The Team H2politO is a group of students of the Politecnico di Torino. The student’s background and profiles are very diverse, everyone comes from a different discipline of engineering and together they compose a complete Team. The disciplines range from Automotive and Mechanical to Electronics, Aerospace, Energy, Mathematics, Computer Science, Mechatronics, Management, Cinema and Media and Industrial Design. The Team mission is to shape a new generation of engineers, leaders in their fields, who represent the educational excellence in regard of each of their competencies.
The results of Team passion and hard work are three low-energy consumption vehicles completely designed and made by the Team: IDRA - hydrogen powered prototype; XAM – bioethanol powered parallel hybrid urban concept; XAM 2.0 –EREV city vehicle.
The main goal is to take part and win in Shell Eco-marathon, a competition that every year involves more than one hundreds of students teams arriving from all over Europe. Especially we would like to spread the Shell Eco-marathon values through ours, combining the sustainable development with a vehicle that uses the least possible amount of energy.
H2politO is a different, innovative and somehow unique project, is not just a Team but something more: it is a new type of conceiving educational, professional and personal growth. Team members aim at being perceived as an experimental laboratory where competences, capabilities and potentialities of future’s engineers are fostered. Students strive to become not only solid and advanced technical experts but, equally important, down-to-earth managers having excellent communication, leadership and teamwork skills.
Practical and hands-on experiences are doubtlessly a complementary and enriching form of educational path where it is very important the use of simulation software like HyperWorks. Team members have a real opportunity to lead their educational path by building and crafting their own thesis. Final papers are indeed part of a cluster of thesis which combines all the technological and organizational areas of development H2politO has envisioned and embraced.
The Team believes in hard work as the basis of future success. Students crave for continuously improving and strive for exceeding expectations by nurturing the team spirit in order to create those synergies able to add value to individual performances and capabilities. As a consequence, passion and team-spirit are really the foundation of H2politO values.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
