Find Connectivity

Check the connectivity between two or more components.  

Frequency Response Process

Set of process templates that use generic engineering data to automatically create frequency response analysis loadcases and associated solver cards.

ID-Manager

Manage all of the IDs for the entities that you create, and define ID ranges for all of the entities in each Include file in relation to the full model in order to avoid ID duplication.

Load Collector Table

Review and edit Altair OptiStruct load collectors.

Reorganize your database by copying or moving data (entities) among collectors or includes.

Orientation Review

Display/review and modify frequently used coordinate systems used in CAE analysis.

Part Info

Summaries a part's statistics in the Part Information dialog.

Part Replacement

Replace the elements in an existing component with new elements; typically replacing a similar part remeshed or slightly reshaped.

Penetration Check

Check components or groups for element penetrations and intersections.

Position

Specify a new position for model entities.

Pre-Simulation(Seat Deformer)

Export an input deck, for the appropriate solver, in order to simulate the deformation of the seat under the dummy. This tool is available in the Altair Radioss and LS-DYNA user profiles.
