Multi Body Dynamics

Multiple interconnected rigid bodies, is termed to be as Multi Body system.And dynamics concerned to the multibody systems is referred to as the "Multi Body Dynamics"

Exergy

According to first law of thermodynamics energy is neither be created nor be destroyed.In the other words it neither appears nor disappears then how can one produce, Save, Conserve the energy. It is clear, but we have to conserve some thing what is it. There comes the term EXERGY.

We have to conserve Exergy but not Energy.

The exergy of a system is the maximum possible work during a process that brings the system into equilibrium. The term Exergy comes into the picture only when there is a potential difference existence between the system and surroundings, but where as energy always exists in the system.

Energy of a system is always constant but where as Exergy always decreases when the system is tending towards the equilibrium.

Energy never talks about the thermal friction but exergy always quantifies the thermal friction and gives a path to the energy engineers to decrease the thermal friction so that the Efficency of the system can be improved.


“The Exergy century has begun. Fight against the thermal friction.”

What is HyperWorks?

A Platform for Innovation

Altair Engineering’s HyperWorks is a computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulation software platform that allows businesses to create superior, market-leading products efficiently and cost effectively. HyperWorks accomplishes this in two significant ways:

* A flexible software licensing model that replaces expensive traditional licensing plans with a pay-per-use system. Employees across organizational and geographic boundaries will be able to access simultaneously not only the HyperWorks suite, but also a broad range of complementary third-party programs and other Altair products at no extra cost.

* Simulation-driven design technologies that enables achievement of performance, timing, and cost targets through rapid, low-cost, virtual exploration that accelerates informed decision making throughout the product life cycle.


HyperWorks Philosophy

HyperWorks provides the most comprehensive, open-architecture CAE solution in the industry, including best-in-class modeling, analysis, visualization and data management solutions for linear, nonlinear, structural optimization, fluid-structure interaction, and multi-body dynamics applications. Committed to an open-systems philosophy, Altair HyperWorks continues to lead the industry with the broadest interoperability to commercial CAD and CAE solutions in the PLM market space.
