Altair WinProp is a leading, comprehensive tool for wireless propagation modeling and radio network planning, supporting everything from satellite links to urban and indoor cellular deployments.Its advanced models and broad applicability make it ideal for designing networks for 5G/6G, IoT, public safety, broadcasting, and more. To encourage skill development and real-world learning, Altair has come up with a new WinProp contest that enables every student to gain hands-on experience with WinProp and build an industry-level skill set. Objective: Design and simulate a wireless propagation and radio network planning for any of the below application areas (anyone) using the Altair WinProp simulation tool. Smart cities Autonomous vehicles and V2X 5G/6G deployment planning Indoor navigation and smart building connectivity Industrial and defense communications Eligibility: All engineering students and research scholars (if they are currently enrolled in any college or university) across India are eligible to participate in the contest. Resources Provided: Altair Feko Youtube playlist: Click Here E-Learning: Click Here Feko and WinProp Training Material: Click Here OpenStreetMap: Click Here How to Participate: Choose an application domain from the above-mentioned areas. Design and simulate wireless propagation and radio network planning, focusing on the mentioned applications, using the Altair WinProp simulation tool. Create or import geometry database using tools like WallMan. Define antenna locations and their parameters, often using AMan. Set up the propagation simulation parameters, including the desired propagation model in ProMan. Finally, run the simulation, and inspect the results within ProMan Submission Process: Files to be Submitted: .idb/odb file *WallMan (indoor/urban) .net file *ProMan .mic file * .nip/nup * .wpi * AntennaPattern .ffe file – Farfield pattern from Feko or AMan file ProMan Results files (ProName and NetName) PPT YouTube Video link – Walk through the project Submit Your ZIP Files Here: Click Here NOTE: The contestants are not allowed to import any built-in models from the tool component library for this contest. Students must use Altair WinProp tool for designing and simulation. Only students currently pursuing engineering are eligible. Graduates are not eligible. Capture the following in the PPT (all data below mandatory): All participants are requested to create a single folder and perform all project-related work within that folder. After completing the project, ensure that all files are saved in the same folder. Then, compress (zip) the folder and submit it using the submission link. Input parameters: Type of Antenna - Model Antenna Pattern from Feko/Aman Geometry Database (indoor/Urban) Antenna Location and parameters (Power, Latitude, Longitude, height, Azimuth and Down Tilt) Wireless Air interface (if required) Enabling required output parameters Computation Output Parameters: (Propagation) Path Loss LOS Field Strength Power Output Parameters: (Network) Cell Area Site Area Data rate Throughput Cell Assignment Reference Signals Control Channels Data Channels Download software: Free Academic License for Students (not institution) Steps to be followed: Create Altair One Account Obtain License Key: Click Here Download and Install Software: Click Here Activate Software Altair training: Click Here Free Technical Support: Click Here NOTE: Students with the College Domain Mail can only download the software.
