In this class, users will learn how to integrate Compose into their CAE processes. Leveraging OpenMatrix Language (OML) in the full CAE pipeline results in simplified, shortened and enhanced pre- and post-processing capabilities using OML both within Compose and within other Altair solutions, like HyperWorks.

Prerequisites:

• It is recommended to have attended the Compose Introduction training beforehand or to have the corresponding previous knowledge

Main Topics:

• CAE readers, functions & writers.
• Compose functions in HyperWorks applications
• Using Compose with CAE solvers

Goals and Objectives:

• The student will be able to leverage the different libraries for handling CAE data, writing files and reading CAE files both from Altair products and third-party tools (OptiStruct, Nastran, Abaqus, Ansys, Radioss, LS-DYNA, MotionSolve, ADAMS, etc.).
• The student will know how to incorporate user defined OML functions for pre- and post-processing from within HyperWorks, allowing for customized analysis on its clients (HyperMesh, HyperGraph, HyperView, etc.).
• The student will understand how registered functions in Compose can be used in HyperWorks solvers, as well as how to declare custom functions for optimization in OptiStruct.
• The student will be aware of the tools with which Compose can call HyperWorks solvers in batch mode for automating processes (AltairIntegration library).
