Przeglądaj produktyAltair’s simulation-based design has forever changed product development, enabling engineers to reduce design iterations and prototype testing. Growing scientific computing power has expanded the applicability of analytics, enabling large-scale design studies within programme time constraints. Now, engineering adoption of artificial intelligence is once again transforming product development. Combining physics-based simulation-based design with machine learning, using the latest advances in high-performance computing, enables teams to more accurately explore and identify high-potential designs – while rejecting low-potential concepts – even earlier in the development cycle.
OptiStruct has pioneered the development of innovative optimisation technologies, including many industry innovations such as fault-tolerant topology, multi-material topology and multi-model optimisation.
Altair® HyperWorks® has introduced the next generation of market-leading Altair® HyperMesh®, Altair® HyperGraph®, and Altair® HyperView® tools combined with the math, scripting, and data analysis of Altair® Compose®. The new HyperWorks® experience was created to enable your team to move from physics to physics, domain to domain, and even create reports without leaving your model. Altair® SimLab® provides simplified, automated multiphysics workflows with CAD associativity.
OptiStruct is widely used at the world’s most innovative companies to design and optimize of laminate composites. It delivers optimal ply shapes, the optimal number of plies, and the optimal stacking sequence, while observing manufacturing constraints. Altair® Multiscale Designer® provides accurate and efficient simulation of materials and parts manufactured with continuous and chopped fibers, honeycomb cores, lattice structures, and more.
In addition to optimization, OptiStruct is a fast, industry proven, structural analysis solver for linear and nonlinear problems under static and dynamic loadings. It provides efficient solutions for contacts, heat transfer, bolt and gasket modeling, and hyperelastic materials. OptiStruct is used by thousands of companies worldwide to analyze and optimize structures for strength, durability, and stiffness characteristics. Altair® MotionSolve® is used to determine loading conditions.
Altair® EDEM™ is the market-leading software for bulk material simulation. Powered by state-of-the-art discrete element modeling (DEM) technology, EDEM quickly and accurately simulates and analyzes the behavior of bulk materials such as coal, mined ores, soils, fibers, grains, tablets, and powders. EDEM simulation provides engineers with crucial insight into how those materials will interact with their equipment during a range of operation and process conditions.
Understanding the safety implications of design decisions is essential across many industries. Altair provides the tools required to bring certainty to engineering simulations including those requiring multiphysics simulation, advanced materials, accurate dummy positioning, and airbag folding. Altair provides detailed modeling and assembly workflows in HyperWorks for scalable and robust analysis using Altair® Radioss® with the highly detailed Humanetics Dummies.
The advanced noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) analysis in OptiStruct includes one-step transfer path analysis (TPA), powerflow analysis, model reduction techniques (CMS and CDS super elements), design sensitivities, and an equivalent radiated power (ERP) design criterion. In addition, automated multi-level sub-structuring Eigen solver (AMSES) rapidly calculates thousands of modes with millions of degrees of freedom. Perceived quality is further addressed by Altair® Squeak and Rattle Director™.
Durability is an important feature of a product to ensure customer loyalty. Building upon the solver capabilities of OptiStruct, Altair® HyperLife® provides a comprehensive and easy-to-use durability analysis workflow that directly interfaces with major finite element analysis result files. With an embedded material database, HyperLife offers solutions for fatigue life predictions under static and transient loading across a wide range of industrial applications.
The APA has established long-term partnerships with some of the leading structural solver software providers.
