Altair SEAM 2023 Release Notes
Highlights
- SEAM is integrated into the Altair HyperWorks suite of products, enhancing the user experience through a synergy between the HyperMesh NVH interface and the SEAM solver to solve a variety of Vibro-Acoustic problems.
- SEAM uses statistical energy analysis (SEA). Over the past three decades, SEAM has gained recognition in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and shipbuilding, for its ability to predict and analyze interior noise, vibration, and acoustic environments.
- To access SEAM, launch HyperMesh NVH and select the High Frequency NVH profile.
- Significant improvements to the following SEAM features include:
- Model building
- Model visualization
- Post-processing
- Diagnostics
- Saving files
Enhancements
- Model Building
- With the model building enhancements, you can easily build models using the modern infrastructure technology that is available in the Altair HyperWorks suite of products.
- Post-process and Visualize the Results
- For an NVH analyst, visualizing and post-processing the results is as important as building the model. Use the Plot Manager to visualize the output and compare and perform additional operations on the results.
Apart from these, SEAM excels in hybrid SEA models, incorporating predicted or measured stiffening effects to enhance accuracy and reliability. It specializes in handling complex models with thousands of subsystems, enabling efficient NVH analysis of large-scale systems.
