How to access it

Embed forum

Embed has an active online community forum where you can post questions, get answers, and promote conversations with other Embed users.

How-to tutorial

The Embed How-To Tutorial is a compilation of common simulation and code generation tasks to get you started learning and improving your Embed skills. You can download the tutorial from the Altair Documentation Center.

Online and local help

Embed offers both online and local Help. By default, Embed is installed with online Help; local Help is an optional, separate installation that you can download from Altair Marketplace. You can switch between online and local Help with the Help > Set Help Source command. Embed uses your current Browser when displaying Help.

There are three versions of Embed software—Embed Pro, Embed SE, and Embed Basic—described under Embed product family. Help is available for all three versions, and for simplicity, Help always refers to the product as Embed, regardless of the version you are using. Sections that do not apply to a specific version are properly noted.

Sample diagrams

Your Embed software includes a directory of fully documented sample diagrams. These diagrams illustrate both simple and complex models spanning a broad range of engineering disciplines, including aerospace, biophysics, chemical engineering, control design, dynamic systems, electromechanical systems, environmental systems, HVAC, motion control, process control, and signal processing. All sample diagrams are located under the Examples menu.
