  • Design Explorer

    Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.

  • Validate

    Validate the model built before running solver analysis.

  • Analyze

    Models require loads and boundary conditions in order to represent the various physics and/or physical equivalents to bench and in-use testing.

  • Axisymmetry

    Reduce a full 3D model with axisymmetric surfaces while accounting for imperfections.

  • Concept Modeling

    Tools and workflows that are dedicated to rapidly creating new parts for specific use cases, or amending existing parts. The current capabilities are focused on stiffening parts.

    Framework to plug certification methods to assess margin of safety from the model and result information.

  • Squeak and Rattle Director

    Create and evaluate evaluation lines and optimize interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.

  • PhysicsAI

    Use PhysicsAI to build fast predictive models from CAE data. PhysicsAI can be trained on data with any physics or remeshing and without design variables.

  • Results Data

    Results data can be post-processed using both HyperMesh and HyperView.

  • Plot Data

    HyperGraph is a data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many file formats.

  • Multibody Modeling

    MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.

    • MotionView Overview

      MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.

    • Model Browser

      The Model Browser allows you to view the MotionView model structure while providing display and editing control of entities.

    • MotionView Ribbons

      The MotionView ribbons allows you to quickly access tools and standard functions, and is located along the top of MotionView.

    • MotionView CAD Interfacing

      • Tire Modeling
        • Introduction to Tire Modeling

          Tires are critical elements to modeling a vehicle’s interaction with a road, with some tire models better suited to specific simulation domains.

        • Coordinate Systems and Output Requests
        • Multi-Threading and Tire Models

          Since computing tire forces and moments during a vehicle simulation is one of the most costly tasks, multi-threaded execution of tire models on a multi-core computer can substantially reduce the clock time for a simulation.

        • CDTire Modeling

          MotionView integrates the Comfort and Durability family of tire models - CDTire - from Fraunhofer ITWM. The CDTire can be used in Ride and Handling vehicle analysis focusing on comfort, durability, and vehicle dynamics.

        • Fiala Tire

          The FIALA tire model serves as the first stepping stone in full vehicle simulation because it is simple enough to be comprehended completely by the MBD analyst. Furthermore, the forces and torques produced by the tire/road interaction use a series of physically meaningful parameters.

            • Using Grasub (FTire only)
            • FTire Integration with MotionView
        • MF-Tyre/MF-SWIFT Modeling

          MotionView integrates MF-Tyre and MF-SWIFT tire models from Siemens (branded by Siemens as Simcenter Tire).

        • PM Flex Tire

          This tire is a FE based flexible tire solution from Pratt Miller that can interact with EDEM particles representing soil, sand, gravel, and so on. The tire model requires a finite element modeling file (.bdf) and other associated files. The AutoTire entity in MotionView provides a utility to generate the required mesh files from a CAD file. The tire can then be transferred to EDEM through MotionView-EDEM coupling interface. PM-FlexTire software is available as an Altair Partner product under the Altair Units licensing system.

        • User Written Tire and Road Models

          User Written Tire models are implemented as user subroutines that compute the tire forces and moments, and the user road model is implemented as a subroutine that computes the road height at a given point.
