Course Summary

Altair Activate software is an open & flexible tool for rapidly modeling and simulating products as multi-disciplinary systems in the form of 1D models (expressed as signal-based or physical block diagrams), optionally coupled to 3D models.  For additional information, download the e-book and scripts that can be run.


Course Outline

  • Activate Interface Overview
  • Introduction to Systems
  • Linear Systems
  • Controlling a Ball Balancing Table
  • Hydraulics
  • HyperSpice

Certificate of Completion

A certificate of completion is available when all modules are complete.

Altair Compose is an environment for calculations, manipulating and visualizing data (including CAE simulations and results), programming, and debugging scripts useful for repeated computations and process automation.  Compose allows users to perform a wide v variety of math operations, including linear algebra and matrix manipulations, statistics, differential equations, signal processing, control systems, polynomial fitting and optimization.

Using Compose for Signal Processing allows useful information to be extracted from sensors that cannot be measured, can improve transmission, storage efficiency, and quality of the signal.  It will help you have a more precise understanding of phenomena in many applications.
