Innovation in Electromagnetics: Call for Submissions for Altair Student Competition
TROY, Mich., April 17, 2019 - Altair (Nasdaq: ALTR), a global technology company providing solutions in product development, high-performance computing and data intelligence, invites engineering students from across the globe to participate in the "Altair Student Competition for Innovation in Electromagnetics (EM)." Under-graduate and post-graduate students who have worked on a supervised project in EM engineering, are invited to submit an innovative solution to an EM problem in two categories:
Students can win a state-of-the-art laptop computer or attendance to an Altair Technology Conference. The Altair competition is an ideal opportunity for students to showcase their work with Altair EM solutions. The winners of both competitions will also be invited to host a webinar to present their project, exposing them to a much larger audience.
“A huge success for the last 16 years, the annual Feko student competition has always provided an excellent opportunity to students interested in antennas, microwave devices, bio-electromagnetics, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) to showcase their work and demonstrate the complexity and accuracy of the results achieved within each of the projects,” said Matthias Goelke, senior director, business development academic markets, Altair. “At a time when energy efficiency is a global priority, students can use Altair software to design future generation e-motors and other electric equipment. Think of what a tremendous impact they can make on the planet. Altair software solutions are broadly used in the academic engineering communities and am already looking forward to the many innovative entries in both areas of electromagnetics.”
Some examples of use-case scenarios;
- Using Altair Feko™ and / or Altair WinProp™ - for antenna design and placement, RCS, EMC, RF devices, bio-electromagnetics, radomes, wireless propagation modelling and radio network planning
- Altair FluxMotor™ and/or Altair Flux™ - for e-Motor rapid design exploration and performance mapping and electromagnetic and thermal simulations
