    7. HyperCrash, HyperView and HyperGraphW07
      • In this section, you will learn about a new application that was developed by Altair exclusively to set up crash simulations, and along with this, you will be learning the GUI of Hypercrash. You will also be introduced to Hyperview and HyperGraph, where you will learn how to post-process the simulation results.
        • An Introduction to HyperCrash, a specialized preprocessor for Radioss
        • Introduction to HyperView and HyperGraph as post-processing tools in the FEA process
    8. Interface (Contact) ModellingW08
      • Interface modeling will be a complex topic that you can find in any solver. Here you will learn what contact is and how it works, what the different parameters you need to look into while defining a contact in a model are, and what the different types of contacts are and their use cases.
        • Concepts of an interface between given components, penalty formulation method, contact stiffness, gap, penetration, interference, and tied interfaces
        • Creation of various types of interfaces and removing any errors or interferences
