Altair Announces 2015 FEKO Student Competition

TROY, MI, USA, Apr 11, 2015 - Altair announced that engineering students from across the globe are once again invited to compete in the popular FEKO Student Competition. The competition is open to all under-graduate and post-graduate students who work on a supervised project in the area of electromagnetic engineering and make use of FEKO, Altair's comprehensive electromagnetic (EM) analysis software suite, included in HyperWorks.

The competition is an ideal opportunity for students to showcase their work in FEKO and some attractive prizes are up for grabs – a state-of-the-art laptop computer or attendance to an Altair ATC or ATCx, conference series, which are hosted around the world each year.

“Since FEKO is now part of Altair HyperWorks, the competition is being launched through the Altair academic website which provides us with a much larger audience so we are expecting the competition to be even more popular than in the past,” explains Gronum Smith, Marketing Director EM Solutions at Altair. “We receive entries from all over the world and have had winners from England, USA, Spain, South Africa and Italy since the competition began in 2003.”

"By using FEKO the students gain experience with a leading CEM tool that is widely used in industry. This experience will be very useful in their future engineering careers,” explains Altair Business Development Director of Academic Markets, Dr Matthias Goelke.

Gastón Ezequiel Perez, a final year electronic engineering student from the Universidad Tecnologica Nacional, Facultad Regional Buenos Aires, Argentina, won the 2014 FEKO Student Competition.

Mr. Perez' winning entry, entitled Design of a Patch Antenna Array for Beamforming Combined with Metamaterials at 5.8 GHz, described the systematic design of a planar array system and how each design decision was informed by electromagnetic simulation. The goal was to provide a solution for satellite applications that require the on-board antenna to be low profile, high gain, and dynamically orientable while adhering to strict weight and volume constraints. Phased signals were used for beam-forming, eliminating the drawback of requiring a change in mechanical parts to reorient the radiation pattern.

Students should register at www.altairuniversity.com. Once registered the participants will receive further details on requirements, links to support forums, and guides. Deadline for entries is 30 September 2015. More information can be found on the Altair University website.

“We are happy to announce that FEKO has now been added to the Altair Support Forum. Here students can discuss any issues they experience with FEKO, in real-time, whilst working on any of their projects. Our support engineers around the world are active on the forum so there is always someone available to answer any questions. This hands-on support is invaluable to students and we encourage them to register at http://forum.altairhyperworks.com/” adds Matthias.

JSOL Electromechanical Analysis Tool JMAG Available for HyperWorks

TROY, MI, Dec 20 - The Altair Partner Alliance (APA) announced that the electromechanical analysis tool JMAG, from JSOL, is now available to all enabled HyperWorks users. JSOL is an important addition to the APA, creating many new opportunities for multi-physics solutions alongside the HyperWorks suite to further improve the offering. JMAG's electromagnetic analysis capabilities are applicable to the automotive, home appliance, digital equipment, factory automation and electric power industries, among others.

"JSOL is very excited to have the opportunity to work with Altair through the Partner Alliance," said Takashi Yamada, Ph.D., Manager of the Electromagnetic Engineering Department at JSOL. "We hope that together we can introduce JMAG's technology to Altair's customers and expand the electromagnetic analysis capabilities of the program."

With its excellent 30 year track record, JMAG efficiently captures and evaluates complex physical phenomena inside machines, helping to improve the manufacturing process. By using the latest techniques, JMAG is able to accurately model complex geometries, material properties and other phenomena associated with electromagnetic fields to perform the most precise analyses. Through an open and user-friendly interface, new and experienced users can achieve higher productivity by having the capability to perform different analyses from one consistent place.

"I am very pleased that JSOL decided to enter the APA with the JMAG product," said Detlef Schneider, Altair's Senior Vice President, Solver Products. "The emphasis of the JMAG development on accuracy and speed fits very well with the Altair solver development philosophy and brings a number of new multi-physics solutions to Altair customers. We will continue to enhance the coupling between JMAG and Altair HyperWorks products to provide high-end and seamlessly integrated solutions to our customers worldwide to solve large scale multi-physics tasks."

JMAG also offers high speed processing, essential to help manufacturers continue to produce highly efficient and integrated products. The highest efficiency only can be achieved through accurate analysis that includes every detail of a design, since even a small detail can impact product performance. By providing a faster solver, JMAG allows for more effects and phenomenon to be included in a calculation within a limited amount of time in the design process. This results in a more accurate analysis and ensured validity of a design by allowing the user to explore and verify multiple design concepts by applying a number of combinations of parameters.

Available for the last 12 years, Altair's innovative unit-based licensing system allows HyperWorks users customizable access to a growing portfolio of applications, optimizing their return on investment (ROI) by making more than 28 Altair developed applications available by use of a single pool of recyclable HyperWorks units (HWUs).

After experiencing this original licensing model's success, Altair offered the opportunity for third-party companies to run their own applications under this unit-based system, a collaboration now known as the Altair Partner Alliance. The overall flexibility of these HWUs empowers users via access to the largest, most complete suite of CAE applications available. The ROI increases for users each time a new application is added to the offering, since any of the partner programs can be accessed using the same leased HWUs they are already using to run HyperWorks. This makes more than 55 additional applications available at no incremental cost or long-term commitment.

Altair PBS Pro Supports Red Hat Cross-Domain Systems

DENVER, CO, Nov 20 - Altair, a global provider of high-performance computing (HPC) technology and services, today announced PBS Professional support for cross-domain configurations of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, delivering robust new security capabilities for HPC workload management.

By supporting cross-domain (also known as multi-level security) systems, PBS Professional provides a better solution for flexible, highly configurable shared environments where security and performance are top priorities, such as classified research and development communities and government organizations.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux’s cross-domain capabilities, provided by the platform’s inclusion of SELinux features, deliver an out-of-the-box configuration that allows users and data at different security levels to share the same hardware. This is particularly useful for the U.S. military and intelligence communities, where information systems supporting multiple data sets (such as those classified as Secret, Top Secret, or Confidential) historically have had to remain physically separate due to security concerns.

By providing a cross-domain supercomputing platform, the Altair solution with Red Hat Enterprise Linux enables organizations to dramatically reduce HPC procurement costs. Rather than maintaining numerous individual HPC systems, users can now consolidate to just a few supercomputers, resulting in millions of dollars in upfront savings, reduced datacenter footprints and power consumption, and a simplified IT architecture.

"Red Hat Enterprise Linux features tight integration with SELinux, which enables the platform’s native configurations to offer Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), data labeling, and continuous monitoring of security controls," said Paul Smith, vice president and general manager, Public Sector, Red Hat. "Through PBS Professional, Altair abstracts these technical complexities to provide a consumable interface for cross-domain supercomputing, supporting multi-level security and unifying underlying security controls with workload management."

One of the most popular workload management products in existence, Altair's PBS Professional has been used for more than 20 years at thousands of customer sites to easily share distributed computing resources across geographic boundaries. PBS Professional is the flagship product for PBS Works, a comprehensive suite for optimizing HPC environments that offers additional tools for Web-based submission, analytics and data management.

Altair is working with a user to produce a case study documenting specific gains enabled by the cross-domain solution, expected to be finalized in Q1 2014.
